This workout will target your midsection while raising up your heart rate and it’s only 5 minutes long, so you have absolutely no excuse to skip your training. Besides, I bet that once you complete this routine, you’ll be pumped to do more. Today is my easy day so I typically don’t do any other workout besides maybe a power yoga routine, however if you feel up to it, you can repeat this workout one or two more times or pick any workout from ZGYM to break more sweat.

Tip for Pistol Squats

You can hold on to a  wall next to you when doing pistols and if you don’t have the flexibility to go all the  way down, then do your best to go only as low as you can. You can also use a chair and sit down and up on one leg with the other leg extended in front of you.

Set your own tempo

Try to do as many reps as you can during each interval, you don’t need to follow along with me exactly rep by rep. If you can go faster, that’s awesome and it’s great to push yourself. If you’re having a hard time to keep up with me, don’t worry about it and just do your best. The point is to raise up your heart rate and get you out of breath to create oxygen debt, which will increase your metabolism.

    Good cardio workout! I think I’m finally figuring out my timing for JR high knees! Definite improvement… Now if I could just master DUs.

    How long until you see a change in body composition or weight ? I have about 20-25 lbs to lose and have been following the zgym workout schedule (1 per day) for about 2 months. Have also incorporated the nutrition guide the best I can. I do have free meals and workout meals, but not sure if I am getting enough protein at each meal. Have not seen a change in body composition or weight since. To those who have been there done that, how long does it take ? Thanks

    Did this after work because I woke up late this morning, and it was ok, I mean I didn’t do as many reps as I expected but I feel good. Didn’t count HK, cork screw 20, 12 pistols, 8 burpees. Thanks and good night.
