The interval cardio workout advanced is a 3 exercise mini-circuit that burns calories and fat, and targets the entire lower body

Start with set one of the fast feet on box for the time indicated. Immediately go to set one of jump rope for time indicated. Then go right into set one of mountain climbers. Do not take breaks between exercises then go right into set two of all the exercises then set three and so on, until you've completed the circuit 5 times.

A stopwatch or timer is great but a big clock with a second hand works best for timing intervals. Finish up with the stretches for a total of 20 minutes of fat burning cardio and lengthening stretches.
