MAX OUT WORKOUT

Push your body to the MAX with this maximum effort, full-body, bodyweight workout from Former NFL player turned yoga instructor and former NOW Ambassador DJ Townsel. Do it wherever, whenever, just get it DONE!

Here’s How it Works:

You’ll follow the “12 Days of Christmas” song format. The format goes: 1 then 2-1 then 3-2-1 then 4-3-2-1, and so on until the final set you complete will be 12-11-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1!

Rest will start with 10 seconds in round 1, and increase in increments of five seconds for each round, so by round 12, your rest would be 1 minute.

So…

  • 1 minute high knees then 10 seconds rest...
  • 2 squat jumps - 1 minute high knees then 15 seconds rest...
  • 3 burpees - 2 squat jumps - 1 minute high knees then 20 seconds rest...
  • 4 box jumps - 3 burpees - 2 squat jumps - 1 minute high knees then 25 seconds rest...and so on.
