Alternating Tabata!
Work for 20 seconds, then rest for 10. Go straight down the list of exercises. (For ex: Exercise 1 for 20 sec, rest 10, Exercise 2 for 20 sec, rest 10, etc.) At the end, rest 1 minute and repeat. 4 times for beginners, 5 for intermediate, 6 times through for advanced.
1. Pushups
2. Squat Jumps (Squats for Beg/Int)
3. V-Ups (Situps for Beg/Int)
4. Lunges
5. Mountain Climbers
6. Burpees (Plank for Beg/Int)
Strength Intervals
The strategy here is to work as fast as you can. You've got rest built in, so attack your reps. Get through the 3 exercises quickly, then rest. Speed is the key.
