NOTES:

Oh man - we went there on SHIFT 18 min!!  The individual version of this workout is a bit on the longer side so we thought the SHIFT crew could handle it as well.

For this work out you can pick whatever you want/have available for the 30 second interval parts.  Jog, Row, Bike, Taps, Single Unders or even a Low Step Up will work.  Move for the entire 30 seconds at an uncomfortable but sustainable pace.

For the Goblet Squat + Press (you guessed it - it's basically a thruster) you will hold a single dumbbell or kettlebell in both hands at the chest.  Feet are shoulder width apart with the heels down.  Belly is tight and chest is lifted.  Tuck the elbows in slightly to help support the weight.

Reach the butt back and down.  Drive the knees out and keep the heels down.  Get the butt lower than the knees at the bottom.  Keep the chest lifted and the belly tight.  Don't allow the weight to pull you forward.  Drive through the heels and lead with the chest to stand all of the way up.

From here, move your face out of the way and press the weight all of the way over your head to lock out the elbows.  Finish with the biceps by the ears.  Belly tight and ribs down.

You may also do this with a light dumbbell in each hand starting at the shoulder.

For the burpees you may choose regular burpees with a step in and out or jump in and out.  You may choose a knee push up burpee, a no push up burpee, or if needed an elevated burpee!
