Introduction

Welcome to this intense and efficient 13-minute full-body workout. In this workout, we will be targeting various muscle groups to maximize your calorie burn and improve your overall fitness. The routine consists of three sets with seven exercises each, with short rest periods in between. Get ready to push yourself and feel the burn!

Crossbody Mountain Climbers

We kick things off with Crossbody Mountain Climbers. Get into a high plank position and bring your knee as close to the opposite elbow as possible. This exercise engages your core and helps improve your cardiovascular endurance. Remember to keep your core engaged, breathe, and maintain a tight core throughout the movement.

Burpees

After a quick five-second break, we move on to burpees. You can do regular burpees or add a push-up if you want to challenge yourself further. Be cautious of the surface you're exercising on to ensure safety. If you prefer a low-impact variation, take it slow and omit the jump.

High Knees

Next up is high knees. Engage your core and bring your knees up to hip level while keeping up a fast and controlled pace. Remember to breathe throughout the exercise. If you prefer a low-impact version, simply lift your knees without the jump.

In-and-Out Squats

Now, let's focus on in-and-out squats. Squat down low while engaging your glutes and core, and jump back up as you bring your legs together. Keep your glutes engaged, maintain a neutral back position, and ensure your knees are in line with your toes. If you prefer a low-impact option, perform the squats without the jump.

Push-Up with Mountain Climber

Moving on, we have push-ups with mountain climbers. Start with a push-up and then transition into two rounds of mountain climbers. Modify the exercise based on your fitness level. If you struggle with push-ups, you can perform just the mountain climbers or opt for knee push-ups. Choose the variation that suits you best.

Skater Jump

Get ready for the skater jump, a fantastic exercise to keep your heart rate up. Take a big lateral jump from side to side, but be mindful of safety and proper landing technique. For a low-impact alternative, perform the exercise without the jump.

Spider-Man Plank

The last exercise in set one is the Spider-Man plank. This challenging movement targets your abs. Keep pushing through and engage your core muscles. You're doing great!

That's the end of set one. Take a 15-second break or up to a minute if you need it. Hydrate and catch your breath. We're ready to kick off the second set!

Corkscrew

We begin the second set with the corkscrew exercise. Start by bringing one leg across and touch your shin or knee with the opposite hand. This exercise targets your obliques and challenges your balance. Take it slow if you're new to this movement, but it'll get easier with practice. For a low-impact modification, bring your knee across in a high plank position.

Plank Jacks

Now, let's work on our core with plank jacks. Assume a high plank position and jump your feet wide apart and then back together while keeping your core tight. Maintain a neutral spine and avoid sagging or arching your back. To make it easier, perform the exercise without the jump.

Reverse Lunge

The next exercise is the reverse lunge. Step back with one leg, bend both knees, and lower your body until your front thigh is parallel to the ground. Engage your core, and ensure your front knee does not extend beyond your toes. Alternate legs and keep up the good work!

Jumping Lunges

Ready for an intensified leg workout? Jumping lunges are up next. Start with a regular lunge and then jump explosively, switching legs mid-air. Focus on landing softly and avoid putting excessive strain on your ankles. If jumping isn't an option for you, stick with forward or reverse lunges.

Up-and-Down Plank

Engage your upper body and abs with the up-and-down plank. Begin in a high plank position, then lower yourself onto your forearms one arm at a time, and then return to the starting position. This exercise targets your core and upper body muscles simultaneously. Keep pushing through!

Triceps Toe Touch

Let's target the triceps and engage the core with triceps toe touches. From a high plank position, touch your opposite toe with your hand while maintaining a tight core. Keep up the good form and ensure proper stability throughout the movement.

Final Set: Burpees

We've reached the final set! It's time for another round of burpees. Push yourself to complete the set and give it your all. You're almost there!

Planks with Bunny Hops

Next, we have planks with bunny hops. Jump both feet to the left and then to the right while maintaining a strong plank position. This exercise challenges your core stability and coordination. For a low-impact variation, bring one leg to one side at a time.

Jumping Jacks

Let's get our heart rate up with jumping jacks. Perform them fast and controlled, feeling the burn in your legs and getting your blood pumping. If you prefer a low-impact option, perform the exercise without the jump.

Lateral Lunge and Curtsy Lunge

Now, we'll target our inner and outer thighs with lateral lunges and curtsy lunges. Perform a lateral lunge by sitting your hips back, then bring your legs behind you and do a curtsy lunge. Alternate sides and feel the burn in your lower body.

Heisman

Get ready for the Heisman exercise. It's a combination of high knees with a lateral jump. Jump to the left, bring your opposite knee up, and then repeat on the other side. This exercise is great for cardio and works your legs and core. If you prefer a low-impact option, take a step to the left or right instead.

Bicycle Crunch

Now let's target those abs with bicycle crunches. Bring your knee in, touching the opposite elbow, while squeezing your abs. Focus on maintaining proper form and breathing throughout the exercise. We're almost done with the workout!

High Knee

For the final exercise, give it your all with high knees. Lift your knees up as high as possible, engaging your core and getting your heart rate up. This is your last push! If you prefer a low-impact variation, simply lift your knees without the jump.
