CIRCUIT 1
PERFORM THIS CIRCUIT 4 TIMES
ALTERNATING SPLIT SQUAT JUMPS
The move: Start in a split stance. Squat down and explode into the air, switching legs and landing in the opposite stance. Alternate quickly and jump as high as you can each time.
10 reps each, 60-second rest
FEET-ELEVATED PIKE PUSHUPS
The move: Get into a pike position — arms and legs straight with your hips high in the air — with your feet on a bench or small box. Slowly lower yourself and drive back up.
12 reps, 60-second rest
CIRCUIT 2
PERFORM THIS CIRCUIT 6 TIMES
SPIDER-MAN CRAWL
The move: Start in a pushup position. Crawl forward by taking a large step with your right arm and left leg at the same time — get low to the ground and swing your left knee so it almost touches your right elbow. (You’ll look like Spider-Man scaling a skyscraper.) Alternate sides and keep your body low to the ground. To increase the difficulty, crawl backward.
10 reps, 30-second rest
SPIDER-MAN PUSHUPS
The move: Start in a pushup position. As you lower yourself, pull one knee toward the elbow on the same side. As you rise, bring your leg back. Repeat on the other side and continue alternating.
6 reps each, 30-second rest
SINGLE-LEG BOX SQUATS
The move: Start by facing away from a bench or box. Lift one leg, sit back onto the bench and come up without putting your other leg down. To make it harder, lower the bench.
6 reps each, 60-second rest
CIRCUIT 3
PERFORM THIS CIRCUIT 4 TIMES
SALUTE PLANKS
The move: Get into a plank position. Bring one hand to your forehead in a salute position and hold for 3 seconds before switching arms. Prevent your hips from twisting as you salute.
6 reps each, 60-second rest
