Tank Top Upper Body Workout est 20 min
2013
This upper body workout is a 3 part workout. The first and last parts are the same and are 8 minutes of HIIT high intensity interval training alternating exercises with push ups in them and fun crunches exercises. ; ) They are all fun, right? Well, at least they change up enough that you don’t get bored and one of my favorite burpees is in here. The 2nd part, done between the HIIT rounds, is an awesome cardio exercise that is also great for abs. If you do enough of these you can really feel it in the ab muscles after. Mountain climbers provide awesome cardio that takes up no room, is quiet and works quite a lot of your body at the same time. See how fast you can do them. It’s a challenge.

Exercise Descriptions
From push up position do 2 push ups and then jump both legs in together towards chest and then back out to start position. This is one rep. Continue doing 2 push ups followed by jumping legs in and back for as many reps as you can in the time period given.
From standing bend over at hips so hands touch floor and walk hands out to plank position, do a push up and then walk arms back in, stand up and repeat.
Squat and Jump legs back, push up then pivot body into side plank position with top arm stretched out towards ceiling in straight line, return to push up position, jump feet in and jump up.
Alternating Ab Chop with Leg Raise
Lying with legs stretched out and flat on ground, and with arms outstretched behind head also on the ground with hands together, sit up bringing arms high overhead and down to the right side towards the ground, while simultaneously lifting up left leg. Keep arms and legs straight throughout movements. After hands come down towards ground and leg is raised up foot towards ceiling, reverse the movements and come back to start position. For the next rep swing your arms up overhead and down to the left side while lifting your right leg up and then come back down to lying start position. Continue in this manner alternating sides for each rep.
Get into high plank (push up) position, then bring one leg in towards chest, bending knee and with foot on ground; this is your start position. Simultaneously jump the bent forward leg back and the back leg forward alternating and jumping legs back and forth while keeping torso of body as straight as possible while performing these movements. Each time a leg jumps forward counts as one rep
