How to perform the exercise

  • First choose either “BEGINNER DAD” or “FIT DAD” so that you can set up your timer accordingly.
  • Beginner Dad Timing = 30 Seconds On (work), followed by 30 Seconds Off (rest).
  • Start your timer and begin workout.
  • For each round, you will complete all 5 exercises, 1 after another.
  • When you complete the 5th exercise, start from exercise 1 again.
  • Complete all 5 exercises a second time.
  • When you’ve completed all exercises TWICE, that is the end of the first round.
  • Take a 2 minute break.
  • Begin round 2.
  • There are 3 rounds total.

Exercise Tips

  • Remember to focus on FORM and TECHNIQUE instead of repetitions.
  • As you get stronger and form and technique improve, you can turn your attention to repetitions completed per exercise, per round, as a measure of your endurance and progress.
  • Be sure to take breaks and pause your timer if needed.
  • If you are struggling with a specific exercise, find the modification.
  • It’s important to remember, “EVERY SECOND COUNTS!”
  • Try your best not to rest during your workout interval.  Try to stay in an “active” position if you cannot do any more reps.
  • FOR EXAMPLE: If you cannot do anymore push ups, try not to sit on your heels.  Instead, try to maintain a plank position.

Variations

  1. Burpee + Pull Up = Burpee + Hang OR Burpee + Bent Over Row
  2. Mountain Climber + Push Up = Mountain Climber + Plank (pause)
  3. Star Jumps = Jumping Jacks
