* Pick your own number of Squats to be performed in the first minute. This should be a challenging number that you takes you close to 1 minute to complete. Choose between 20-50 Squats (depending upon your ability).

This is a modification of a crossfit.com workout- where the prescribed squats were 50 repetitions.

Minute 1 you are aiming to complete your chosen number of squats, with the deficit to be paid up with either pull-ups or push-ups in the 2nd minute. Continue on with this format until you can no longer achieve the required number of pull-ups or push-ups.
*Stay in the game for a minimum of 12 minutes. If you are out before simply achieve what you can of each movement within the allocated time.
