Saturday Functional Cardio

I warmed up with the run/back run, shuffle/carioca, skipping/pogo jumping/inchworming combo Wendy posted a while ago, then did the following:

Combo #1

Sprint, 2 pushups/Sprint back, 2 pushups
Sprint, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps/Sprint back, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps
Sprint, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps, 10 bicycles each side/Sprint back, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jump, 10 bicycles each side
Sprint, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps, 10 bicycles each side, 5 lateral bounds each side/Sprint back, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps, 10 bicycles each side, 5 lateral bounds each side
Sprint, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps, 10 bicycles each side, 5 lateral bounds each side, 5 prone jacks/Sprint back, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps, 10 bicycles each side, 5 lateral bounds each side, 5 prone jacks
Sprint, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps, 10 bicycles each side, 5 lateral bounds each side, 5 prone jacks, 2 burpees/Sprint back, 2 pushups, 2 rocket jumps, 10 bicycles each side, 5 lateral bounds each side, 5 prone jacks, 2 burpees

rest 1 min and repeat

Combo #2- Hold a 5 lb plate (a medicine ball would've been better, but I didn't have one handy) while doing the following:

24 squats
12 each alternating side lunges
12 each split jumps
4 rocket jumps
12 jump squats

rest 1 minute then repeat

Combo 3
This is one repetition. Perform 5 reps without rest:

Pushup up set up
10 wideouts
20 mountain climbers
Pushup, lateral bear crawl, pushup
2 star jumps

Rest for one minute, then repeat

Combo #4:

10 prone hypers, 10 prone tucks
Sumo walk holding the plate (or med ball), 10 split jumps with plate, sumo walk back holding plate, 10 straddle jumps with plate
Shuffle, carioca, side run, 10 pushups, repeat 1X
10 bicycles (each side), 10 straight leg scissors on each side.

rest for one minute, then repeat

It was weirdly fun and far easier than the Wendy fitness chick workout. As I was doing the first combo I was thinking that with some tweaks I could turn it into an awesome "12 days of Christmas" workout for some of my favorite victims, I mean, clients.
