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 21 with your score from Day 24 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. High Knee Jumps
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. Wall Hand Walkouts
Find a wall and put your
back to it. Set yourself in a plank position with your hands on the
floor and your feet on the wall. Keep your arms straight. Your body
should be parallel to the floor. This is your starting position. Now
walk back with your hands and feet until your body is almost vertical
against the floor. Don‘t go too far or you‘ll lose your balance. Keep
your body straight the whole time. Walk back down until your body is
horizontal again. Breathe regularly. Add a score of 1 every time you
perform a full cycle.
Alternative: If you find the move too hard, simply put yourself in a handstand and hold the position for as long as possible. Score it like a plank. |

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