This push, run, and lunge medley is one of my favorite minimalist routines that blends strength, cardio, and mobility into one 30-minute sweatfest.
The plyo pushups work your upper body and develop core stability. The lunges work your lower body and improve hip mobility. And the running hikes up your heart rate and crushes calories.
This is also one of my favorite outdoor workouts on a beautiful sunny day. So be sure to get out of the gym every once in a while and mix up both your training plan and environment for best results.
How it works:
1. Do as many plyo pushups as you can. (If plyo pushups are too hard, you can modify with regular pushups)
2. Run 50 yards. (You can eyeball it. Aim for 70 to 80 percent of an all-out sprint.)
3. Lunge back 50 yards.
That’s 1 round. Do as many rounds as you can in 30 minutes.
