A 20-Minute Metabolic Burn

Burn calories and build metabolism-boosting muscle by mixing cardio bursts into your strength training; the next Get Fit 2015 Challenge workout does just that with a 1:1 ratio of cardio to strength training. The cardio portion is jumping rope, but don't worry — you won't have to do all those minutes back to back. The jumping is mixed with targeted strength-training moves. Don't have a jump rope? Fake it. Seriously. You might feel a little silly, but jumping in place for a minute is killer (and easier than dodging a rotating rope).

Directions: Perform as many reps of each exercise as you can in one minute — taking breaks as needed. Beginners, start by doing each move for 30 seconds followed by a 30-second rest period. Take a two-minute break between each 10-minute set. Cool down with three to five minutes of stretching.
