You can a set of only squats, squats with kicks, squats with punches, or a combination of all three. Variety keeps it more interesting.

When we work out, we never stop; we run, then do push-ups, then sit ups, then punch and kick, then squats, this is our version of interval training. You are burning calories and gaining strength, and you are not spending your entire day doing it. It is effective and time efficient.
