The Time Attack Protocol
Alright, this is the third and last time you'll be doing these exercises, so give it all you've got! Next week, you'll get a brand new batch of cool stuff. For today's workout, instead of performing a maximum numbers of reps in a specific time, you're going to do a specific number of reps in minimum time. For each exercise, add your score from Day 20 with your score from Day 23 and multiply the result by 3. That's your reps goal for today. You can do your exercises in any order, jump from one to the other at any time and take rests whenever you want. Your mission is to complete all your exercises as fast as possible. Kudos if you can make it in under 16 minutes.
If you are logged in to your facebook account, this page has already calculated your goals for today and you can see your numbers on the top right corner. If not, you can still calculate it manually.
Scoring your Time Attack workout
Just enter your goals (if they're not already there) and the time it took you to finish the workout at 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.
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.

Save time by resting less, not by going too fast!
