Description
Add this intermediate-level CrossFit-style total body strength workout of the day to your routine. It trains all your large muscle groups.
The workout is based on the classic muscle-building system that relies on repetitions. Depending which muscles are being targeted, you’ll do between 12 and 20 repetitions of each exercise. Complete all exercises one after the other. Start with 12 basic burpees, then 12 air squats […]. If you need a short break between the different exercises, take it. After each round (6 exercises) take a break of up to 90 seconds. Do the full circuit of exercises 4 times.
Always make sure that your exercise is clean and controlled and keep your body under tension. If the Close Grip Push-Ups are too hard for you, leave a little more space between your upper body and your elbows. Are they too easy? Then you can try Diamond Push-Ups.
Warm up well before you start training! Have fun with our workout.

The basic burpee is a squat transitioning into a jump. There is no plank position at the bottom of the burpee. Clap your hands when you jump up, either over your head or behind it.

The glutes and other muscles in your backside also benefit from this exercise. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and turn your toes slightly towards the outside. Bring the back of your thighs down behind you and your arms to the front. Only go low enough that you can keep tension in your back. Use the strength of your legs to push yourself back up to standing.
