You can make it an upper body 100, lower body 100, total cardio 100!!  An absolute SOLID format!  The PYRAMID format.. you climb up the pyramid and then you descend down the pyramid!!!  KICK BUTT!   This is great when you need that stress relief, getting back into your workouts, kicking your workouts up a notch, or  limited  on time.  If limited on time, simply climb up the pyramid and cool down.
