    This was a new warm up we did yesterday that was meant to be really fast acting and a replacement for the standard 10-15 minutes we have of stretching, running, rolling etc.

    It was 20 reps of each of these at a high speed:
    Star jumps
    Burpees
    Hindu pushups
    "Eeyores"
    Crunches

    As I say each was done stupidly fast and apparently the idea was to go upper body, lower body, upper body, lower body. I would've called it tabata but someone asked and my instructor said it wasn't really so I'm throwing it out to you guys.

    Haha! Try doing them then this eeyore crap (on all fours, jump your legs up and out like a bucking donkey) :D
    The idea's meant to be high then low on your body but it relies way too much on supporting yourself on the arms you just killed.

    Sounds like a nice workout... I am just not familiar with the term "Eeyores"... What is that exercise?

    It's like a squat thrust, only your feet leave the ground going out, but as you said need as much weight forward on the hands as to do a frogstand. Ouch

    I spent some time trawling through youtube vids, for I know someone had it in a bodyweight workout but can I find it now?... Nope, grrrrr. Am I giving up?... Nope :)

    Closest I could find is this at 4:07 and he calls them Deer Runners but is travelling forward too [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_t2xHmEFJpg"]Strength Training Part 1 - YouTube[/ame]

    Kinda reminds me of frog jumps. The whole "what's it called" thing was about the overall regime not just that exercise though ;)

    Tabata is just a 20 second high intensity exercise then 10 second rest interval repeated 8 times.

    What you did is a "horrible" :D

    Haha looking back though it was good to do. Think because there was no breaks inbetween was why he said it wasn't a tabata

    There doesn't always have to be a name for these things. It's just called a 'warmup' or a 'workout'. The closest exercise description it would use might be circuit training.
