The time for the second exercise might be generous.  It's hard for me to judge as I did the previous burpee challenge immediately before this round of exercises.  So my quads were already exhausted.  Let me know what you think about the times posted - these were my times and your times will probably kick butt on them!
Approximate time needed for this workout: 20 minutes


Take lots of breaks when you need them, and take bigger breaks between exercises.  Drink lots of water and make sure you warm up and cool down!

100 push ups - whatever style you want!  
Goal time: 4 minutes

200 squats
Goal time: 8 minutes

300 crunches 
Goal Time: 6 minutes  

Hope you enjoy this round!

Exercise breakdown:
Push ups, make sure you keep your core nice and tight throughout.  If you find that your back is scooping out (belly button is falling towards the floor) STOP DOING THIS EXERCISE!  It's not worth hurting your back!

Squats, make sure your knees do not extend past your toes.  Try to make sure your knees follow the midline of your foot and is not leaning to the inner or outer edges of your feet.  

Crunches, keep a fist or apple distance between your chin and chest.  Be conscious of keeping your shoulder blades flattened and not drawing your shoulders forward or up towards your ears.  Fingers can rest at ears but should only be used to support your head, NOT to pull your head up.  If you find yourself pulling your head in order to crunch - stop doing this immediately!  The crunches can be pulse style crunches as well!

    Regular physical activity is fun and healthy, and increasingly more people are starting to become more active every day. Being more active is very safe for most people. However, some people should check with their doctor before they start becoming much more physically active.

    If you are planning to become much more physically active than you are now, start by answering the seven questions in a Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire.  The questionnaire can be found by clicking on the Registration Forms on the menu on the left.  If you are between the ages of 15 and 69, the PAR-Q will tell you if you should check with your doctor before you start. If you are over 69 years of age, and you are not used to being very active, check with your doctor.


    The physical activity programs found on this site are designed for those 15 - 69 years of age, not pregnant and in good health.  Those outside of this age range or who are pregnant should not engage in the following activities.  Consult a doctor and/or a certified fitness professional one-on-one to develop a program appropriate for you.

    All exercises should be proceeded with five minutes of warming up your body with light cardio, followed by gentle stretches.  

    At the completion of all exercise, please cool down using the stretches found in the stretches section of this website.

    Stay hydrated by drinking water often and taking breaks when you need them!
