To score, I took the set with the fewest amount of reps that I was able to complete in the 20 seconds.
- Jackknife crunch (alternating legs) - 6
- Push up with knee tuck - 4 This was the hardest exercise for me, by far!
- Squats with hands at ears - 12 Easiest exercise for me! I was doing more reps during the last set than the first set.
- Back row with weights - 9
This workout was great because I didn't have to change into gym clothes (did it in my pj's), I didn't have to wear shoes because there wasn't any jumping. I didn't even put on a bra! LOL! It was quick and intense.
I should mention that I did a little warm up first, based on Jillian Michaels' warm up in Banish Fat, Boost Metabolism: big arm circles, twists, jogging on the spot, jumping jacks, alternating toe touches.
Phew!
