This combination will not only improve your technique but also build the mental toughness needed for any fitness journey.

- Alternate Foot Step: 1 minute
- Side-to-Side: 1 minute

- Weighted Rope Routine: 1 minute of jumping with a weighted rope, followed by 1 minute of rest. Repeat for 3 rounds.
- Burnout Round: 2 minutes of non-stop jumping with your preferred style. This is where you push your limits—don’t stop until the time is up!
This endurance circuit is designed to test your mental and physical limits. It’s not just about the body—it’s about the mind pushing through when you think you’ve hit the wall.
Cool Down: Stretch and Reflect (5 minutes)
- Hamstring Stretch: 1 minute each leg
- Shoulder Stretch: 30 seconds each arm
