This workout mixes plyometric exercises along with high repetition resistance exercises to give you a session that will help you to improve your cardio fitness, muscular endurance and stamina as well as burning plenty of calories.

All you need to do this workout is a barbell and a step box. The aim is to complete 45 seconds on each of the resistance exercises completing as many repetitions as you can, use a quick tempo whilst maintaining a full range of motion and a strict technique. For the plyometric exercises spend 30 seconds on each. Once you have completed a full circuit rest for 1 minute and then repeat, aim to perform 3 circuits.

Perform a 5-10 minute warm up before starting this session.

Push press

Bench hops

Bent over rows

Burpee to step jump

Squats

Straddle jumps

Press-ups

Explosive step ups 

Tips:

: Use the same weight for each of the barbell exercises. Start light since the workout is designed more for muscular endurance rather than strength. Only increase the weight when you can do a full 45 seconds on each exercise over all 3 sets.

Below are some regressions for the plyometric exercises.

Bench hops: Use a lower step.

Burpee to step jump: Perform the burpee with your hands on the step. Rather than a step jump do a basic step up instead.

Straddle jumps: Perform step-ups from a straddle position or do a straddle jump onto the step and then step down.

Explosive step jumps: Use basic step ups instead for a lower impact variation.

: When I did this session with one of my clients it took around 40 minutes to complete including warm up. We finished the session with an abdominal superset of medicine ball wood chops and medicine ball crunch with alternating leg lifts.
