Tabata (20 sec on/10 sec off for 4 min each ex)
Burpees
Sit ups
Air squats
Jump rope (double unders if able)

If you enter all of these exercises into google.com you will be able to find videos or pictures of what to do. If unable to find the exercise or just have a form question, shoot me a comment and it will automatically email me and I can get back to you as soon as possible. Also, if you do not have certain equipment to do the exercise or have an injury that stops you from doing a certain exercise, again- post a comment and I will get back to you with a modification you can do.

Killer Interval Workout!
I did each exercise for 1 minute, with 15 seconds rest when moving to the next exercise. (you can modify this to 45 seconds of work with 25 seconds rest)
I rested 1 minute between each round and completed 3 rounds.
Weights I used are in parentheses, if no weigh is listed I only used body weight.
3x
1. Goblet Squat (25#)
2. Mountain Climber
3. 2 Arm Dumbbell Swing (20#)
4. T-Pushup (5#)
5. Split Jump
6. Dumbbell Row (10#)
7. Side Lunge and Touch
8. Pushup Position Row
9. Lunge and Rotate (15#)
10. Push Press (10#)
Here is a link to the exercises. The only one I significantly modified is the dumbbell swing (used 2 arms instead of 1)

Great 15min Workout
Another modification to a crossfit workout called "Stephanie":
20 sec on/10 sec off for 4 min each ex (called tabata)
sit ups
box jumps
bench press (recommend only bar, 45lbs) or if no bench-do chest press on ball with dumbbells
Should only take about 15min with transitions. For a little cardio addition, I went for a 3 mile run/walk with the family and dogs.

"Barbara" workout
Did a modification of a crossfit workout and really liked it:
5x
10 pull (I did jumping ones with negatives on the way down)
20 push
30 sit
40 air squats
I did it all with no real rest because I wanted to do it as fast as possible since baby was awake and gets bored playing without us fairly quickly :)

Awesome website
DIYWOD.com.....you can sign up for a free account, check the boxes for what equipment you have at home and they will email you everyday with a workout. In typical crossfit fashion, they are usually very difficult, but you can always modify. If you need any help modifying...give me a shout and I'll try and help...
