This is a pretty simple workout for you to try. The only equipment needed is a skipping rope and a timer.
Step 1: Put on a great playlist that will have you pumped for 22 minutes.
Step 2: Set your timer for 10 minutes (if you have a timer that can do multiple rounds, set it for 2 10 minute rounds with 2 minutes rest between).
Step 3: Press start and start skipping at a vigorous rate.
Step 4: When the timer reaches 1 minute, quickly do 1 burpee and then resume skipping.
Step 4.1: When the timer reaches 2 minutes, quickly do 2 burpees and then resume skipping.
Step 5: Continue this pattern increasing the number of burpees by 1 for every minute. Only skip until the clock reaches the next minute. If it takes you 15 seconds for 2 burpees, you only skip for 45 seconds. At the end of the 10 minute round, you should have done 10 burpees.
Step 6: At 10 minutes, after the 10 burpees, rest for 2 minutes.
Step 7: Start your second 10 minute round.
Step 8: When the timer reaches 1 minute, quickly do 10 burpees and then resume skipping.
Step 8.1: Step 4.1: When the timer reaches 2 minutes, quickly do 9 burpees and then resume skipping.
Step 9: Continue this pattern decreasing the number of burpees by 1 for every minute. Only skip until the clock reaches the next minute. If it takes you 45 seconds for 9 burpees, you only skip for 15 seconds. At the end of the 10 minute round, you should have done 1 burpee.
Step 10: DONE!
By now you should be sweating like S.O.B.. If you want to increase the intensity a little, make them burpee pushups.
Have fun kids!
