Ooooooh, boy. This workout is definitely a burner””meaning that it will smoke your lungs and muscles. It’s a challenging one for sure!
For equipment, I used a 15-pound slamball, but if you don’t have one, you can use a medicine ball, dumbbell, or any sort of weighted bar instead. It took me close to 7 minutes to finish this workout, and I was totally spent by the end. Boom. Love that. And you could easily do this workout during naptime or in the middle of your living room when you don’t have a lot of time to spare and still get an awesome workout!
The rep scheme for this workout is 21-18-15-12-9-6-3 (total reps for each exercise).
The movements are weighted Thrusters + Mountain Climbers””a nice, little couplet that will kick your butt! Haha!
Outfit: CrossFit Training Jaquard Jacket/CrossFit Chase Capri/Z Goddess Glitch
How to do this workout: After warming up, do 21 Thrusters followed immediately by 21 Mountain Climbers. Then, move on to 18 Thrusters and 18 Mountain Climbers and so on (15, 12, 9, 6, 3). If you want more of a challenge and a longer workout, once you perform 3 reps of each exercise, work your way back up to 21 reps of each.
I hope you like this one! Happy sweating!

Thanks for this post!
I work at home but have been too ridiculously busy (and exhausted!) for any formal workouts lately. This is PERFECT for me to squeeze in during the day!
I love this workout! So quick and easy to do! Looks exhausting !
This will be the perfect workout for when I’m snowed in this winter and really just feel like lounging all day but still want to get a quick workout in. Quick and effective is the best sometimes.
I love that this workout requires minimal equipment and can literally be done anywhere in less than 20 minutes. A good one to put on the list whe. Traveling!
Might try this one in the morning! How long did it take you to complete? Strict mountain climbers I take it from the pic! Reps for each leg or total?
I’m gonna try this at the gym tonight. I’m all about getting more toned and in shape, before it was about not gaining weight, now it’s about toning up. 🙂
I really love how quick this workout is. This would be great on a day I can’t get to the gym because I need to get to the office for an early morning meeting.
Thank you for posting this! I’ve been looking for new ideas for the gym so I don’t look like an idiot messing around with the medicine balls! Love this!
Hey nice job with those knees out on your thruster! =) This looks like a burner for sure and everyday is a good day to get some squatting in.
Wow I’d def work up a sweat with this one– and I agree with Alex’s comment that this is a great one while traveling!
This looks like a really good yet somewhat simple workout. I like!
This seems like a fun one! I like that it uses so little equipment!
I will be doing this workout this evening, thank you!! 🙂
Love this! I’m going to try it when I hit the gym tonight!
Alternating mountain climbers are a killer.
I like how quick and simple this sounds. I will be fitting it in this week!
Must try this workout! Looks epic!
1. you are looking amazing!
2. This workout looks like it will kill me, i’m excited!
💪
I totally need to do this! I have been craving a good work out that his new and challenging for me 🙂 Thanks Tina!!
Do you count each leg as 1 mt. climber or is 1 when you have done both legs?
This looks super doable! I’m going to have to try it at the gym.
I look forward to doing this post-pregnancy! Definitely saving it because 7 minutes is a wonderful MAGIC number of getting a great workout in;) No excuses!
This looks like a great workout! I will definitely save this one. My boyfriend and I are currently doing the Fort Strong workout challenge for October and it is kicking my butt! But in a good way!
When I read this workoutworkout, even despite the name, I thought it looked good and not so hard…man was I wrong, I was sweating and panting by the time I finished! Quick and productive, my favorite type of workout!
So glad you liked it!! 😄
