Plyo Tabata Workout 12 min
2012
For this workout we are changing it up and doing lots of box jumps. We have 3 tabata rounds which each alternate between 2 exercises and is mostly focused on upper body. There are pull ups, push ups and burpees partnered with lots of jumping. You will need a sturdy raised surface for this workout. I am using an exercise step with risers so the height can be adjusted and this works great, but a wooden box or bench will work also, just make sure it is strong and sturdy. This dynamic and fun workout will keep you moving and make the time go fast too!

Exercise Descriptions
Standing in front of box or step jump up on it with both feet at the same time and then jump back down onto floor in the same manner, continue jumping up and down for required reps or during interval time.
Stand just in front of pull up bar and reach up grip onto bar with palms away from you and use mainly your lats and rhomboid muscles to pull yourself up so that chin is above bar, then lower yourself back down.
Standing behind box by one to two feet, place hands on ground in front of you, jump legs back into plank position and do a push up, jump feet in and stand up and then jump forward onto box with both feet at the same time and then jump back down onto floor. This is one rep.
Get into high plank (push up) position with feet up on a raised surface and bring one knee in towards chest and then back out and then bring in the other knee close to chest and back out. Continue doing knee tucks alternating legs for each rep.
Get into push up position with feet elevated on a raised surface and do push ups with legs elevated.
Standing on top of box or bench, jump both feet down at the same time but on either side of box or bench, then jump both feet simultaneously from either side back up to the top and continue jumping down and up until interval period, or reps, are completed.
