Day #2



The following is one complete set, complete 15 sets, in as little time as you can.













1. 5 Burpees
2. 30 toe touches, alternate left hand to right foot, then right hand to left foot

What is the Burpee exercise? It’s a great full body functional exercise that will raise your heart rate, improve your strength, power, agility and flexibility. A Burpee is a combination of a push up and a jump squat. Start by standing with your feet shoulder width apart, then squat down and put your hands on the ground. Jump your feet back into a plank position and make sure to keep your core tight so that you are not dropping your hips. Bend your elbows and move your body down towards the ground as close as your strength and flexibility allows you. Push up and get back into the plank. Jump your feet forward into a squat and jump up with your arms above your head reaching towards the sky. Land softly on the balls of your feet and bend your knees slightly as you land to absorb the shock and to make the landing softer.
