Workout of the Week #35

Workout of the Week burpee pull-up

Burn fat and build muscle with our weekly gym challenge. Workout of the Week #35: power endurance

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

This workout was shot at The Athlete Centre in Oxford. Check out our Workout of the Week YouTube playlist for more gym challenges. Subscribe to the Men's Fitness YouTube channel for our weekly Workouts of the Week, posted every Monday throughout 2015.
