JUMP ROPE + PULL-UPS/SIT-UPS
Jump/Skip rope in 30/30 intervals for twenty minutes performing quick sets of calisthenics during the rest intervals.
This is a challenging workout, but it is effective and very satisfying to complete. During the thirty seconds between sets of rope skipping you will complete a brief set of an additional exercise. Alternate sets of pull-ups and sit-ups (or another abdominal exercise) so that you perform ten sets of each during the twenty minutes.
You do not have long to perform each set. You also will need extra time to transition from skipping to pulling or crunching and back again. Plan to keep the sets small (e.g. 5-10 reps) and allow ~5 seconds for the first transition and 5-10 seconds for the transition back to the rope. Start with sets of pull-ups and sit-ups smaller than you think you can handle. This is a conditioning drill, not a strength workout.
This does not have to be done at an all-out sprint. Find a rhythm and work from one exercise to the other.
