two dumbbells and a clock

I try to make workouts simple and sometimes I actually succeed :) Here is a great workout we did tonight that works the whole body in 15 minutes. It combines brief bouts of pushing hard with rest - but not nearly enough rest :)

Do the following circuit 5 times. Use 30 seconds of effort then 30 seconds of rest. During the rest period switch exercises. Add up your total number of reps for all exercises and circuits combined. This is your score. It's also easier to count than keeping track of different reps and sets.

Dumbbell squat with push press (also called thruster)
pushup with row
leg lift (hold one dumbell between your legs)

Taylor: 91 reps total
Brian: 121 reps total
(using 40#db on thruster, 30#db on pushup with row, 10#db on leg lift)
