This multifaceted workout is another in the metabolism booster series and designed to help rev up the internal engines and get the body burning and eliminating fat and waste from cells and get it running smoothly and efficiently. This little full body workout covers all bases: abs, arms, legs, shoulders, butt, and it made me feel invigorated and full of energy afterwards.
I did this workout exactly 3 months ago and it took me 6 minutes and 43 seconds then. This time it took me 6 minutes and 12 seconds ..and that’s with filming, so maybe I’m getting the groove of this. It felt good to beat my time despite the filming.
I did lose track a bit during the leg lift, butt lift, star crunch exercise for the 3rd and 4th reps, but soon recovered and that exercise definitely took the longest to complete. I loved the flow of exercises and it felt good working down in reps from 40 to 5. This is one way to make burpees fun. The 5 burpees at the end is like the cherry on top of the workout. Piece of cake and you’re done!

From standing, bring legs up with knees bent one at a time as high as you can. You can put hands out parallel to ground and try to hit hands with knees as you bring them up, alternating legs and doing this as quickly as you can. This exercise is like running on the spot, except that you are keeping back straight and driving knees up high with every rep.
Get into high plank (push up) position, then bring one leg in towards chest, bending knee and with foot on ground; this is your start position. Simultaneously jump the bent forward leg back and the back leg forward alternating and jumping legs back and forth while keeping torso of body as straight as possible while performing these movements. Each time a leg jumps forward counts as one rep.
Lie on mat with hands behind head, rotate to the left as you bring in the left knee, while bringing in the right elbow towards it, then switch sides rotating to the right and bringing in the right knee and the left elbow to meet it, as the left leg straightens out, continue alternating sides
Lie on back flat on mat, bring both legs up together to 90 degree angle and lift butt off ground, then open legs wide and crunching torso, reach hands close together through open legs as far as possible, bring body back to lying position and repeat.
Get into high plank position with hands on floor, arms straight, and lower your upper torso down to the ground and then push yourself back up to start position.
Standing straight with sandbag on floor just in front of you, bend over and pick up by the 2 side by side handles going lengthwise, bring it up to hip level straightening your body and flip it so it’s up on top of your hands and press up to ceiling. Bring it down to ground returning it to start position.
Standing with feet hip width apart, squat down and place hands on ground in front of you, jump legs back into plank position, do a push up, jump legs back in and jump up in the air.
All burpees are done with a push up, unless otherwise stated. If it doesn’t say, it comes with one
