Bodyweight and Running Workout

This “for time” workout is simple. Start with the 400 m (0.25 mile) run, then continue through the rest of the workout as fast as possible while maintaining good form.

The run can be done outside or on a treadmill and should be performed at a high-effort. For the bodyweight exercises, pick a pace and try to keep moving with little to no rest.

This workout is perfect for travelling or when you don’t have time for the gym. If you don’t have access to a treadmill or 400 m outdoor running route, you can substitute a 500 m on a rower or ski erg, 20 calories on an assault bike or 2 minutes of high-effort on piece of cardio equipment of your choice.

Here’s how it looks:

400 m run
50 burpees
400 m run
50 sit ups
400 m
50 push ups
400 m run
50 air squats
400 m
50 walking lunges

Optional Core Finisher

5 minutes in plank.

Switch as needed between high plank, low plank and side planks for a total of 5 minutes. That’s right, a total of 5 minutes in various plank with no rest! You can do it!
