Workout Description

Begin each round with 80 single-under jump ropes. Immediately after, pick up your dumbbells and perform 12 Dumbbell Squat Cleans. Finish the round with 20 alternating V-ups. Repeat this sequence for a total of 5 rounds.

Maintain a jump rope pace that lets you stay consistent without long rest breaks. For the dumbbell squat cleans, choose a weight that challenges you but allows smooth, controlled movement. Focus on core engagement during V-ups and avoid rushing the reps.
