Are you familiar with AMRAP style workouts?
AMRAP stands for As Many Reps As Possible, within a certain time limit.
I have been trying to do an AMRAP style workout in the morning because they are short and sweet but pack a good punch!
I did this one the other day using a medicine ball, but if you don’t have a med ball you can use a kettle ball, dumbell, or just your body weight.
10 Min – AMRAP
- 10 sumo squat with overhead swing
- 30 mountain climbers on medicine ball (if no ball, put your hands nearly on top of each other rather than shoulder width apart like a regular mt. climb)
- 30 russian twists
- 10 figure 8’s (in-and-out through the legs with the ball, like you do in basketball drills)
*Record the number of reps of the circuit you did in the 10 minutes and then do it again in a day or two, always trying to increase the number of reps you complete!
Challenge yourself!
Great workout, Kara! I love short, high-intensity workouts, and this is one style I try to incorporate regularly. There are just so many health benefits to challenging your body with this type of exercise…kind of like Fartlek training: tough, but worth it!
Thanks for sharing!

Thank you Elaine! I also love these type of workouts. It’s sometimes really tough to fit in a workout but not when it’s 10 minutes and really challenges you! I think anyone can do anything for 10 minutes!!
