A Bodyweight Workout with the Nephew

One of our many nephews stopped in the other day to spend the night with us while on his way to an internship at a church nearby.  He joined me the next morning for a workout.  Here's what we did ...

The work was 40 seconds, the rest was 20 seconds.  We did 5 rounds of the following ...

Pushups

Squats

Bulgarian split squats

Pullups

Planks

If you do a 5 minute warmup and a 3 minute cooldown, this is a 33 minute workout, and it's a torcher!

Don't know what a Bulgarian split squat is?  It's easy; well ... the explanation is, not the exercise.

Get into a lunge position.  Except, you are going to elevate the back leg on a bench or stool.  Using the leg that is in front of you, raise and lower yourself.  The back leg that is elevated cannot provide much assistance, so this exercise will be felt deep into the quad muscles.
