10 minute leg blaster

This workout could be stretched to 20 minutes but 10 minutes is all I had on Friday so that's the name!  It was hard enough and my legs were shaking so my goal was accomplished.  It's not going to build "big" legs because it's focusing on using bodyweight.  It's focused on building endurance and strength.  As usual, I mix in other body parts to a "leg workout".  Why? The momentary portion of the set you do something different, it gives a momentary rest to the muscle.


10 minutes to complete max rounds:
1 pullup (add one more pullup each round)
10 split jumps (count reps as right leg hits the ground)
15 squats
run 20 yards (or do 20 jumping jacks)
25 pushups (or knee pushups)
return to starting point (if you ran)

that means your 2nd round will have 2 pullups, 3 pullups your 3rd round, etc.  If you cannot do them, a bent over dumbbell row will substitute.
