"Today we have a descending ladder of Burpees and Lateral Jumps.
This workout's rep scheme & opening movement should look & feel familiar to most. Take it smooth and steady from the start, so you don't burn out in the first two rounds. Move straight through on the Burpees, with little break in between reps. Choose an appropriate height for the lateral jumps -- make it tough but doable. Reset on each jump -- a PVC pipe or broom between two objects can be a great choice. Reset and get your mind right before starting the Lateral Jumps. Stay focused and keep the pace consistent through all double-digit rounds. Once you reach the round of 9 pick up the pace and finish fast (uncomfortable). For the ""Object"", choose something that is between ankle height and below the knees."

Today we have 4 Bodyweight Tabatas scored in the classic way... taking the lowest score of the 8 intervals as our score. Do 8 sets (20 sec work, 10 sec rests) of each movement (total of 4 min), plus the minute rest -- just about 19 minutes on the clock, and absolutely no joke if done well. Consistency will be imperative on this one -- don't start with sets that are to big or you'll regret it. Start conservative on all movements, so that you don't drop off too much towards the end. Keep movement quality high and consistent, especially as you get into the later rounds. If we were going to put the movements in order of MOST breathing, to least, it would go: Bodybuilders, Stepups, Airsquats, Situps... so breathing will be highest on the Bodybuilders and be the most like "cardio"... while the situps, because of the movement, will be much more specific and burn your abs -- both require good pacing.
