When we are about three months into winter, we cannot wait for warmer weather to take our workouts outside. But what about when we are about three months into summer and it is just too dang hot? The grass is always greener on the other side right?
Well, there is no shame in doing a workout in the comfort of some air conditioning.
This workout is done in a HIIT style with 20 seconds of work, followed by 10 seconds of active rest.

*Boxer Shuffle: The boxer shuffle is a stance that boxers use to keep moving even when nothing is happening. It is a wide stance, typically with one foot in front of the other and you slightly move back and forth.
**Criss-cross touch and go: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and knees slightly bent. Lower into a squat and reach your fingertips toward the ground, keeping your chest lifted. Touch with one hand, then jump up and cross your right foot over your left foot, land back into your squat while touching your other hand to the ground now. Continue this movement, the jump criss-cross motion while touching your hand to the ground.
