M100s

Came accross the M100s when I stumbled upon Mike Chang's fitness blog. Do check out his cool video on the M100s in Hawaii.

Basically, the M100s consist of 100 mandatory movements (40 burpies, 30 mountain climbers and 30 double pump squat jumps) executed in succession and without any break (hopefully!).

Here's the programme:-

10 burpies
10 mountain climbers
10 double pump squat jumps
10 burpies
10 mountain climbers
10 double pump squat jumps
10 burpies
10 mountain climbers
10 double pump squat jumps
10 burpies

Intensity is high so take a chill pill if you can't complete the M100s without any break in between in your first few tries.

The initial challenge is to ensure you reduce the number and/or duration of breaks in each M100s. Once you are able to complete the M100s without any break, start timing yourself. Then strive to maintain or reduce your timing for each M100s.

I've tried this a few times and it's absolutely insane! I get pumped so quickly (at the start of the 2nd 10 burpies!) and it feels great!

I sometimes get a bit adventurous and would do the following for my cardio workout...start with the M100s, followed by 45 minutes on a cardio machine (periodically increasing the resistance/speed) and finish off with the M100s.

Try it! :-)
