This workout is mostly plyometrics, which will get your heart rate up all while making you stronger! It’s a shorter one, so perfect to do when you’re taking a break from studying and need to boost your brain power.

  • Burpees
  • Jumping Split Lunges
  • Pushups
  • High Knees

Repeat at least 2 times and it will only take 8 minutes.

 

Now go kill this workout just like you’ll kill your finals!

 

Good luck studying.
