Hitting it HARD today!

I've got a tough, but effective interval workout today. We'll be doing 4 exercises today; Classic Burpees, jumping jacks, Starburst Burpees and High Knees. Set your interval timer for 20 rounds of 15 sec's and 45 sec's. You'll do as many burpees as you can in 45 sec's and then take 15 sec's to write down your score and catch your breath. Then do as many Jumping Jacks as you can in 45 sec's, taking 15 sec's to write your score etc... Do the same with Starburst Burpees and High Knees. Then repeat this cycle 4 more times for a total of 20 min's. I just finished this workout and here are my scores....

Classic Burpees 11, 10, 8, 8, 8
Jumping Jacks 49, 48, 46, 45 47
Starburst Burpees 10, 9, 6, 8, 9
Knees Ups 100, 103, 104, 100, 106

You should be breathless and not able to do any more burpees by the end of the 20 min's.

Classic Burpees... jump down with hands on ground, jump legs out to plank position, jump legs back in, jump up to standing position.
Starburst Burpees are similar except you jump you legs out wide and when you jump up to standing position, you jump your legs out then, also!
