How it works

A 10-second countdown leads into 10 rounds. Work for 40 seconds on each movement, rest 10 seconds between movements and 15 seconds between rounds.

The timer ends after the final work interval. Keep a pace you can maintain with good form.

The movements

  1. Marching in place

    Lift one knee at a time and place each foot down softly. Keep your torso tall and let your arms swing naturally.

  2. Step jacks

    Step to one side and raise your arms out to the sides. Bring your foot and arms back to the middle, then switch sides.

    40 sec each interval
