RichRuff Training Exercise of the Week: Five Minute Rounds

This weeks exercise can be used as tool for your high intensity interval training or as a "finisher" at the end of your workouts. Basically you're going to get as many rounds as possible in a five minute period of the following exercises:

1) 8 Lunges each leg (can be any lunge variation)
2) 8 Push Ups (can be any push up variation)
8) 8 Burpees or 8 Mountain Climbers each leg

And then you're just going to keep repeating, without any rest between sets until your five minute round is up. If used on your conditioning or high intensity interval training day, rest for 2-3 minutes and repeat 2-3 times. If used at the end of your workout as a finisher, I'd suggest only one round because this will really beat you up.

Give it a shot.
