The Fifty Ten Protocol

There are 4 rounds. In 50 seconds, do as many repetitions of the 1st exercise (crocodile push-ups) as you can. Take a 10 second rest before moving on to the 2nd (deck squat jumps), 3rd (1 leg wall squat) and 4th (jack knives) exercises. Once you've completed all 4 exercises, you've covered Round 1. Do it again 3 more times to complete Rounds 2, 3 and 4. Total workout time is 16 minutes.

Scoring your Fifty Ten workout

Write down the number of reps your performed for each exercise on Round 1 only. For example, if you manage to do 20 crocodile push-ups, 17 deck squat jumps, 40 seconds of 1 leg wall squats and 30 jack knives on the 1st round, then type in 20, 17, 40 and 30 on to the top right corner of this page. Click on "Post your results!" to record your score, this will post your numbers on your wall. You can hide them from your friends if you want, but I encourage you to share your numbers as a motivator. Keep your numbers handy, you will need them for Day 26. If you really don't want to share your scores online, save them on a spreadsheet or write them down on a piece of paper.

1. Crocodile Push-ups

Much like the cliff scalers, this is an advanced push-up exercise. But instead of stepping sideways in between push-ups, you‘ll be stepping forward and backward as you perform the push-ups. Get yourself into push-up position and take a step forward by advancing your right hand and your right leg. Now bring your left hand and your left leg forward to complete the second step. Keep going until you‘ve taken 8 steps or you‘ve run out of room. Then, do the same thing backwards to get back to your starting position. Keep your core tight and your back straight. Don‘t wuss out on the movement, bend your elbows at least 90 degrees every time. Inhale when you go down, exhale when you come up. Score it like standard push-ups.

2. Deck Squat Jumps

Stand up straight with 8 to 10 feet of room behind you. Jump up as high as you can. When you land, squat down until your glutes hit the floor and roll back. Bring your knees to your chest and straighten your legs so that your feet are behind your head. This is your ending position. Without using your hands, rewind your moves and jump up as high as you can. Breathe properly. Add one point every time you cycle from starting to ending position. Practice this move a few times before you start the routine.

3. 1 Leg Wall Squat

This is just like a standard wall squat except you‘ll be doing it on 1 leg. Start in a wall squat position and slowly raise your right leg until it‘s parallel to the floor. Don‘t use your hands. Keep this position for as long as possible. Take a pause if you need to, then get back into position. Your score is based on how long you hold the position in proper form, pauses don‘t count toward your score. Alternate legs on the next round.

4. Jack Knives

Let‘s build your shoulders. Put yourself in a straight-arms plank. Pivot your hands inward so that you‘re your fingers face each other. Slowly walk your feet up towards your shoulders until your body forms an inverted V. Now bend your arms until your head touches the floor. Keep your core tight. Push your-self back up into your starting position. Inhale as you go down, exhale as you push up. Add a score of one every time you cycle from starting to ending position.

Take breaks if you need to. Good luck!
