The Asylum DVD workout series takes the intensity up a notch, and adds an agility and footwork component. If you dug this workout and want more, check out the whole DVD series here. As you do, move your arms straight out in front of you until they are in line with your shoulders.
Hop your feet forward and pop up into a squat position.Bend your elbows, lowering your butt until it’s close to the ground.Propping yourself up on your hands and feet, lift your butt off the ground.
Sit on the ground and position your hands just outside of your body with your fingertips facing your rear end.Repeat the move, alternating sides for 30 seconds.Hop both feet up to the right, trying to bring your knees to the outside of your right elbow.Start in a straight-arm plank position, feet together.Do as many reps as you can in 30 seconds.Bring your right knee to waist height, tapping your knee with your right hand when it reaches that height.Stand with your weight on your left leg, knee slightly bent, left hand on top of right.As you push your chest back up, hop your feet back together.As your chest nears the ground, hop your feet wide apart, jumping-jack style.Get into a straight-arm plank position, body in a straight line from head to heel.Perform each exercise for 30 seconds, resting as little as necessary between reps.

In the waning moments of our first conversation, I asked Shaun T., creator of such popular home-workout DVD programs as Hip Hop Abs, Asylum and Insanity, if he’d put together a workout for Experience Life readers.
