This workout plan is designed to challenge participants with a series of 5-minute AMRAPs that test their muscular and cardiovascular endurance. The exercises target a variety of muscle groups, including the legs, core, back, and shoulders, to ensure a full-body workout. The mix of bodyweight exercises and weighted movements also helps to improve overall fitness and build strength.
