The workout will start with calisthenics before moving into light running, lateral shuffling, and squat jumps. You'll then do some light sprinting, reverse shuffling, and burpees. Next, you'll go back into calisthenics, which may include push-ups, lunges, and core exercises. You'll repeat this cycle at least once more before moving into a cool-down.
