Quixotic Workout est 9 min
2012
I’ll admit it – For an 8 to 9 minute workout, this is brutal. It’s made up of 2 parts. The first is just over 5 minutes of interval training. The second is a fun but killer combo that you repeat until you drop or the 3 minutes is up, whichever comes first. I got 4 rounds and was really feeling it at the end.

Exercise Descriptions
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 and then pivot body into side plank position with top arm stretched out towards ceiling in straight line. Bring arm down and come back to high plank position, jump legs back in and jump up and sideways to the left (or right) and then repeat doing a burpee in the same manner and this time jumping back to start position and continue doing burpees in this manner jumping to alternate sides for each rep.
Get into Pike position, with hands and feet on the floor and hips up, back straight, and start with legs to one side, kick up legs and jump over center object (or imaginary center object) to other side and back. Each time feet hit the ground is 1 rep.
3 Point Plank Jumps with Sandbag Clean and Press
From standing place sandbag on ground in front of your feet, place hands down on sandbag and jump back into high plank, jump feet in and then out to one side, jump them back in and then out to the other side and back in again. After jumping out and in to center, left and right points, stand and lift and do a clean and press with sandbag. This is one rep.
Lying on back with legs bent and feet on floor, do a crunch bringing upper chest in, roll to left and do a side crunch, roll back to center start position and do a crunch, then repeat on right side, center and continue alternating middle and sides. Each crunch = 1 rep.
Start in high plank position, from here walk hands and legs a step over and do a push up, then walk hands and legs another step over and do another push up and continue in this manner. Each push up is one 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.
Starting in high plank position, bring one knee out to side and up towards same side elbow and return, repeat with other knee and continue alternating sides for each knee tuck.
Have a great workout!!
