Increasers (Home Workout)

Equipment Required: Dumbbells (Optional), Timer
Time: ~30-40 minutes
Warm-up: 5-10 Minutes dynamic stretching

You’re gonna need a stopwatch app, or any time app that allows you to see or hear when one minute has gone by for all of these.

Drill #1: Jump Burpees & Push-ups
Target Number: Beg(30), Int(40), Adv(50)
Instructions: Start the stopwatch and start doing jump burpees that include 1 push-up at the bottom of each. As you work towards your target number of burpees, the number of push-ups owed each burpee goes up by one. So after minute one, you owe *two* push-ups on each jump burpee, and so on. This makes it very important that you don’t start slowly! Remember, you’re not counting the push-ups whci will be increasing each minute, you’re counting the jump burpees.

Drill #2: Stairs/Hills & Lunges
Target Number: Beg(10), Int(15), Adv(20)
Instructions: Setup at the bottom of your stairs or a comparable hill if available. This time you will be counting your hill runs towards your target number, but must increase the lunges you do each minute. Start with two lunges in minute one (one per leg) and increase by two every minute.

Drill #3: Shuttle Runs & Sit-ups
Target Number: Beg(10), Int(15), Adv(20)
Instructions: Setup anywhere with room to run out ~10-15m and back. This time you will be counting your runs towards your target number, but must increase the sit-ups you do each minute. Start with only one sit-up in minute one and increase by one every minute.

Drill #4: Weighted Burpees & Curl Press
Target Number: Beg(30), Int(40), Adv(50)
Instructions: Start the stopwatch and start doing weighted burpees (no jump) that include 1 curl-press at the top of each. As you work towards your target number of burpees, the number of curl-presses owed each burpee goes up by one.
