One of the most loved or hated full body movements in exercise history. The basic motion is starting from a standing position step or jump back into a lying position facing and touching the floor. Thrust the body forward and jump up. Repeat. It is known as the “king of bodyweight exercises” as it works every muscle in the body simultaneously, requires no other equipment, and anyone can do it!
The Challenge
Full Marathon - 1000 Reps for time
Half Marathon – 500 Reps for time
Winner completes all the repetitions with proper technique in the fastest time.
