Rambo's Quick n' Dirty (Part 2)

Just to recap, my favorite kind of workouts are what I like to refer to as Quick and Dirty. They are short and to the point, and you end up sweating like you’ve been at the gym for a couple hours.  These are complete body workouts, so you get cardio, core, and lower body/upper body--the whole nine yards.

With most of these workouts, you'll be needing some equipment, as mentioned in Quick n' Dirty (Part 1).  This one, however, is a little different as you'll be relying primarily on your own body for resistance.  You may also want to use the HIIT app on your smart phone that I previously mentioned, or a stop watch.  And you'll need an area with about 30 feet of space to run/shuffle across. 


For definitions and assistance on form, check out the DEFINITIONS page.

Quick n' Dirty #2

Burpees
Prison Diagonal Lunges
Push ups
Shuffle Runs (30 ft back and forth)
Up n’ Down Planks
Jack Squats

Complete each exercise for 1 min, with a 10 sec transition time. Complete 3 times. These should be done in order and at max effort.  I dare you to go to the point of fatigue!! (this workout will take more like 23 mins, less if you don't break too long between sets.)

  1. Thanks so much for posting this Rambo. I was trying to figure out what exercises to include in my HIIT rotation to maximize the benefit and you just made my decision for me. :) Although, i will freely admit I do not like doing burpees. But, then again I did not like doing lunges a couple of years ago, so who knows, I may grow to love them. Thanks again, this is perfect!
