Cold, Snow, Fitness Center Closed...what's a healthy boy to do?

When there's no place to play, running outside is sure to result in severe bruising, and the gym is closed, what's a healthy boy to do? Here's what he does:

Jenny Jumps

PJ Glassey, CSCS, owner of XGym, introduced these a long time ago. He named them after a friend of his, and they hurt--really bad--in a great way.

If you're really feeling like bringing it (the pain), start at 10 or 11, otherwise start at 8.

Do 8 squat jumps--quads parallel to floor into a vertical leap, with arms swinging up and through.
Do 8 calf jumps immediately, without resting.

Do 7 squat jumps immediately, followed by 7 calf jumps, followed by 6 squat jumps, followed by 6 calf jumps....you get the idea.

No resting on this one--If you do it without resting, this will easily replace 10-12 minutes worth of equivalent Calories burned in the gym, and it's over in less than 2 minutes.

Your lungs will burn, so steel your mind against the pain. Pretend you're Chuck Norris, and the POWs are counting on you. Go get 'em, Chuck!
