Take on your Men's Fitness workout of the week, a new 52-part series to keep you inspired and challenged for 2015. We'll post a new workout every Monday and for an added incentive, we'll take on the workout too so you can see how your best time compares with a member of the MF team.
Workout of the Week #35
Power endurance
Complete three rounds of this circuit as fast as you can:
- 10 burpee pull-ups
- 5 long jumps
Long jump form guide:
You might know these as broad jumps. From a standing start, bend your legs and wind your arms back, then throw your arms forwards and explode up and forwards as far as you can. Make sure you land on both feet, bending your knees to soften your landing. If you fall forwards on landing, the rep doesn't count. This tests landing mechanics and balance as much as power. For an added test, measure out your max broad jump distance, take 10-20cm off it, and aim to hit this distance with each rep.
Watch the video, take on the challenge and post your best score in the comments section below.
MF's par time: 3min
