A Strength-Endurance Timed Circuit Consisting of 10 Exercises
Get ready for EVO X BURN – a challenging strength-endurance metcon workout that will test your resilience! This workout is a simple timed circuit of ten exercises for two rounds, with a total time of 20 minutes – as shown below:
- Mountain climbers
- Tornado
- Burpees
- Squat
- Side shuffle
- Pull-ups
- Lateral jumps
- Lunge
- Jumping jacks
- Push-ups
You should perform each exercise for 40 seconds. Don’t worry; you’ll have 20 seconds to rest between each one of the listed exercises. When you have completed the first round, take a 20 seconds pause and move to the second round.
This workout focuses on the basic skills like bending, squatting, lunging, pushing, and pulling. All this interspersed with whole-body cardio exercises. Since we are talking about a moderate-hard workout, you’ll get tired quickly. We recommend that you pace yourself during each exercise, taking breaks as needed.
Try to improve your performance each time you perform this workout by counting the total number of reps at the end of the workout. The idea is to increase the number of total reps each time.
