Warm-Up

Before you begin your workout, it’s important to warm up your muscles and prepare your body for exercise. Start by doing some light cardio for 5-10 minutes, such as jogging in place, jumping jacks, or cycling on a stationary bike.

Interval 1: High Knees

For the first interval, you’ll be doing high knees. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and bring one knee up towards your chest, then quickly switch to the other knee.

Continue alternating legs for 30 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds before moving on to the next interval.

Interval 2: Jumping Jacks

The next interval is jumping jacks. Stand with your feet together and your arms at your sides. Jump your feet out to the sides while simultaneously raising your arms above your head. Jump your feet back together and lower your arms back down to your sides.

Repeat for 30 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds.

Burpees: Interval 3

The third interval is burpees. Start in a standing position, then squat down and place your hands on the ground in front of you. Jump your feet back into a plank position, then do a push-up.

Jump your feet back up towards your hands, then jump up into the air. Repeat for 30 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds.

Interval 4: Mountain Climbers

The fourth interval is mountain climbers. Start in a plank position, then alternate bringing your knees up towards your chest as if you’re running in place. Continue for 30 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds.

Interval 5: Jump Rope

The fifth interval is jump rope. If you have a jump rope, use it! If not, pretend like you have a jump rope and jump as if you’re actually using one. Continue for 30 seconds, then rest for 15 seconds.

Steady-State Cardio

After completing the five intervals, it’s time for some steady-state cardio. Choose an activity such as jogging, cycling, or using an elliptical machine and perform it at a moderate intensity for 2-3 minutes.

Repeat

Repeat the entire sequence (intervals + steady-state cardio) for a total of 2-3 rounds. Make sure to take breaks as needed and stay hydrated throughout your workout.

Cool-Down

After you’ve completed your workout, it’s important to cool down and stretch your muscles. Do some light cardio for 5-10 minutes, then stretch any muscles that feel tight or sore.
