A NEW WORKOUT is gathering traction in America and we dare you to put it to the test.
The beauty of the session is that it takes no more than 15 minutes to complete – and can be done from the comfort of your own home.
The bad news is you don’t get a rest and the exercises get harder as you progress through them.
The number denotes the amount of time spent doing an exercise – or series of, so for example; for the first five minutes you’re going to do some form of cardio.
This can be either running, cycling or running, but seeing as it’s designed for the home it’ll be one minute each of high knees, jumping jacks, front kicks, jumping jacks and finally, running on the spot.
The next four minutes will be one minute of alternate lunges followed by one minute of mountain climbers. It’s oThis is to be repeated twice.
The three-minute routine is 10 push-ups followed by a 10-second rest and 15 tricep dips followed by a 15 second rest. Repeat this for three minutes.
For the next two minutes you must do 30 seconds of regular squats, 30 seconds of jump squats, 30 seconds of regular squats and 30 more seconds of jump squats.
And for the final minute it’s a one-minute plank.
