How to create an amazingly simple workout

One of my favorite types of workout is a "Countdown".

Huh?

A Countdown is simply this...
Takes 2, 3, or more exercises that are non-competitive (upper v. lower or strength v. cardio). Start with a challenging number of reps for the exercises e.g. 10.

Let's says you do this workout
Tuck Jumps / Push-Ups
Start at 10 reps for each move and then move down to 9 each without rest. There's no rest in this workout till its completed. I always finish with 1 rep of each which gives me a huge sense of accomplishment!

Most countdown workouts will take you 5-10mins and you're done for the day. It's a very hard, quick and effective way to burn calories while challenging your body. Keep in mind to watch your form as you get tired.

Try mine or make-up your own. It's a holiday weekend so make it quick and enjoy your friends and family.
