Good morning and a very happy Workout Wednesday to you! I haven’t posted a new at-home workout in some time, and since tomorrow I am turning a quarter of a century (a.k.a. it’s my 25th birthday!), I thought it might be fun to create a birthday-inspired workout.
Now that I’ve completed the workout, I’m not sure fun is the best way to describe it. Don’t be fooled by the cutsie pastel graphic – this 25 minute AMRAP style workout is no joke; I was undeniably panting and grunting with those final skaters and thrusters.
If you aren’t familiar with AMRAP (CrossFit lingo), it stands for As Many Rounds/Reps As Possible. In other words, work your booty off to get as much done as you can in the allotted amount of time.
I set my timer for 25 minutes and tried to get through as many rounds of 25 reps of each exercise. I finished 3 full rounds + 25 swings — holy guacamole!

What You’ll Need
- 1 chair or plyo box
- 1 kettlebell – I used 25lb.
- 1 set of dumbbells – I used 10lb. dumbbells
Exercises
- Kettlebell Swings
- Dumbbell Step-ups
- Push-ups – regular or on your knees
- Jump Squats
- Plank Jacks
- Speed Skaters
- Thrusters
Notes
- Move as quickly as possible from one exercise to the next, limiting rest. The goal is do do as many rounds/reps as possible in 25 minutes!
This full-body 20 minute AMRAP is another killer!
