In June we prepared for you a simple bodyweight workout for time that will test your strength, endurance and work capacity.

We called it Seven, a workout consisting of increasing-to-decreasing rep scale that will truly test your resilience and ability to pace yourself. Plan your rest periods intelligently to maintain the pace. If you are an experienced exerciser, go for whole sets!

This workout consists of 7 exercises performed back to back for time, so don’t forget to start/stop your stopwatch.

The exercises are performed in the following order:

  1. Pull-up – 10 reps
  2. Push-up – 20 reps
  3. Medicine Ball squat jump (5kg) – 30 reps
  4. Scissor kicks – 40 reps
  5. Medicine Ball squat jump – 30 reps
  6. Push-up – 20 reps
  7. Pull-up – 10 reps

Complete all exercises in the fastest time.
