Workouts with squat-thrust cardio drills?

[Aquajock]

Greetings, sportsfans:

I've become quite the cardio squat-thrust drill addict recently, and I was wondering if you have any recommendations for any non-Cathe ('cause I have 'em all), non-INSANITY ('cause I have 'em all) cardio workouts that incorporate squat-thrust or other plank-style cardio drills.

I'm posting this question on the VideoFitness forum as well.

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Annette, have you ever looked at bodyrock.tv? Zuzana does a lot of body weight intervals that include all sorts of planky squat thrusty stuff. She doesn't have follow along videos -- her videos are for demonstration only -- but her workouts usually incorporate only 3 or 4 moves done in intervals. I would say that most of her workouts are advanced. Here's one I've been doing while watching the Olympics http://www.bodyrock.tv/2009/11/06/fridays-intense-challenge-november-6th-2009/

I also do Zuzana's workouts and didn't look at the link Michele attached but you would probably love her Prison Cell Workout! I do this about 1 time a week or less! Try to beat your own time, each time! Good luck, you crazy plank addict!

Have you tried them one legged? I saw that, and it looked a little mean.. but I was thinking of giving it a go.
Have you tried them when you roll back first? Like in CCC, roll back, into a push up, only you jump up straight after the push up, rather than just going back into the roll. OUCHY is all I can say

Sorry, i don't know of any workouts, but I too like Bodyrock tv

Here's a link for some do it yourself burpee workouts. Scroll down the article for variation ideas and click the Ultimate Burpee links too. The one where you hold a medicine ball while doing them sounded right up your alley!

(Note: I thought the variation where you wear a weighted vest while doing them was a one way ticket to spinal surgery.)

My Dad calls those Burpies.

My Dad calls those Burpies.

Zuzana could call her workouts "Burpees with Boobies" BTW, I wonder if those are real. BAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

(Apologizes for hijacking thread and leaves quietly )

Even worse Beavs, when my DD was younger, she called "boobies" "burpees." I had quite a laugh when I first heard a workout instructor calling squat thrusts burpees!

Hi Annette,

Jillian Michael's Burn Fat, Boost Metabolism also has a lot of Insanity-style drills on it. While it's not as hard as Insanity, it's still a pretty tough workout.

Clarissa,
I just tried the PCW today for the first time and those Burpees just about killed me. I loved getting a good workout in in a short amount of time, and boy, was I feeling it at the end. They have to get easier, right???

These look awesome. I'd love to be able to complete one of this work outs one day.

BTW, you can see her ribs in the 2nd video.
