For April I decided to give you guys a week off from the Wake Up Call mainly because of the routine I was planning on presenting, so here it is……
It’s been about 8 months since this routine has been done, that being said I thought APRIL would be the most appropriate time to bring it back…………and because I love it so much!
For those of you that have not been properly introduced to the Game of 5’s yet, you are in for a treat. The Game of 5’s is a combination of 5 bodyweight exercises, for 5 continuous sets, increasing the reps for each set by 5 each time around. As usual, there is no equipment needed.
THE ROUTINE
1 High Knees
2 Burpees
3 Stationary Lunges (one leg for the total reps to be completed first, then the other, technically 2 exercises)
4 Jack Knife Sit Up (aka V-Ups)
5 Push Ups
Total reps per exercise upon completion is 75! That’s .375 reps in your workout non-stop! Initially this routine could take anywhere from 15-20 minutes for most beginners. The fastest time so far (not MY time) is a whopping 7 minutes!
When your time gets below 10 minutes try the more advanced version below.
- For the more Advanced version, start at 10 reps, increase by 10 for each set.
