HOW TO DO IT

Do this whole circuit, then rest for three full minutes to catch your breath and recover. And then do that all again four more times for a total of five times through the circuit.

BEGINNER-FRIENDLY OPTION

Do the exercises below for three to five rounds (you choose depending on what you can manage). Rest three minutes between each round.

• 3 to 5 pull-ups or assisted pull-ups or pull-up alternatives (see below)

• 6 to 9 push-ups

• 12 to 15 sit-ups

• 15 to 20 squats

SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU OUT

"Know your limits. You've got 700 reps in the workout. You can either do the reps with integrity and great form, or you can really screw yourself... If this means you've got to scale [do the beginner-friendly alternative workout] – leave your ego at the door and do it! Don't sacrifice form for speed and scale correctly." — Will Lanier, CrossFit coach and general manager of Brick New York

HOW TO DO IT

Start a stopwatch and do the entire circuit. Rest until minute one. At minute one, repeat the circuit, resting until minute two. Repeat this for 30 minutes.

BEGINNER-FRIENDLY OPTION

Perform the following exercises every minute on the minute for 10 minutes:

• 1 pull-up or 3 assisted pull-ups (no jumping pull-ups)

• 3 to 6 push-ups (or elevated push-ups)

• 6 to 9 squats

If you don't finish the circuit within the minute, rest for the following minute and then start again.

SOME TIPS TO HELP YOU OUT

"Definitely get your heart rate up a bit prior to beginning this workout... The first movement to go is the push-ups. I suggest splitting these up from the beginning. Don’t get upset with yourself if you miss a round. Take the time, regroup, and start again on the next minute." — Will Lanier, CrossFit coach and general manager of Brick New York

HOW TO DO IT

This workout is just what it looks like: Do each movement 100 times before moving on to the next one. Take short rests throughout to make sure you're able to complete every single movement with good form.

BEGINNER-FRIENDLY OPTION

• 20 pull-ups or 25 to 35 assisted pull-ups (no jumping pull-ups)

• 20 push-ups or 30 elevated push-ups or 35 wall push-ups

• 20 sit-ups

• 20 to 50 squats

HOW TO DO IT

"The biggest way to fail miserably is to sprint this workout. Success with Angie is all about splitting up your reps, sticking to your strategy, and not going to failure. The quickest and easiest way ... is to do 10 reps for 10 sets of each move... The key to success is to pick a strategy that you know you can keep and STICK TO IT. Small, achievable sets." — Will Lanier, CrossFit coach and general manager of Brick New York

If you don't have access to a pull-up bar or assisted pull-up machine, do rows on a doorway like this:

• Be sure to warm up before you jump into the workout; spend a few minutes getting your heart rate up and your muscles feeling loose before you really start pushing yourself. After you workout, cool down with these stretches.

• Remember that good form is crucial for results and also not getting hurt. So, when you feel yourself getting too tired to execute each rep perfectly, be sure to rest — 15 to 30 seconds between movements or in the middle of a set for up to 10 seconds.

• In addition to high-intensity workouts like this one, the key to losing fat is a lower-carb diet. More on that here.
