DAREBEE Workout: What it Works
Focus: Cardio
Type: Burn
Difficulty: level 4 of 5

Over & Under is a cardio workout with a spike built into it. Blocks of twenty high knees and twenty climbers keep your heart rate elevated, while single jump knee-tucks - one maximal rep, three times per set - punch it higher. In between, five up and down planks grind your arms and core. The name is the structure: sustained work over, explosive and floor work under.

The single-rep knee-tucks are the clever part. One all-out jump demands total power production - hips, quads and calves firing at maximum - and because it appears when you are already breathing hard, it trains your body to explode from fatigue rather than from rest. That is a quality most steady-pace cardio never develops. The up and down planks in the middle serve a different purpose: transitioning from forearms to palms and back again, one arm at a time, they load the triceps and shoulders while your core fights the rotation each transition creates.

Drive for genuine height on the knee-tuck - pull both knees toward your chest and land soft with bent knees, ready to move. Keep the high knees at hip height and stay on the balls of your feet. During up and down planks, keep your feet wide and your hips as still as possible; the less you wobble, the more your core is doing.

One jump. It sounds generous until it arrives. Make it count every time.

Make it Harder: Turn every single jump knee-tuck into three.

Make it Easier: Swap the jump knee-tucks for bodyweight squats performed at speed.

My family never encouraged me to exercise growing up, so it is outside my comfort zone. Then I joined the Navy and got in great shape. But that was years ago. I have always wanted to find a place… My family never encouraged me to exercise growing up, so it is outside my comfort zone. Then I joined the Navy and got in great shape. But that was years ago. I have always wanted to find a place that would meet me at my level wherever I am, encourage me to stay motivated, fit in my busy schedule, not require a gym membership, offer variety, be fun, help me feel like part of a team without leaving my house, and still be affordable. That has been my dream. So Darebee.com makes my dream a reality. It does all that and more. I would highly, highly recommend this site to absolutely anyone.

BUT what I think is at least as great is the design and functionality of the website. It is just so clean and well organized. I love the filter functions, they work very well and you can find exactly what you need in seconds. Also the bookmark feature is just awesome! The way you can organize the bookmarks, create different collections and sort them so efficiently is very thoughtful and way better than I have seen it on many bigger platforms. I think it is just an example where one can see that the Darebee team not only strives to create the best workouts but for excellence on every level. Tank you! You are doing an awesome job!

After more than a decade, and after trying countless websites and apps, it's still my number one choice for workout plans and creative exercise inspiration. Unlike other apps and sites, the full experience is available regardless of ability to pay; even when the job market has been tough, Darebee has been there with accessible, effective workouts to help keep me on track when other obstacles crop up. Whether it's a full workout, or a little challenge to supplement other routines, Darebee has ALWAYS had me covered. The wide variety of skill levels available means that I can find something, even if injured, tired, or simply out of practice. Need to work on something specific? Pick a challenge for it. Injured? Rehab workouts and exercise alternatives abound. Not sure how to use all those dumbbells you somehow acquired over the years? No problem--you can find workouts with that equipment. In conclusion: Darebee is pretty rad; an awesome, effective resource, that anybody who needs a bit of sweat and strength in their lives can appreciate. Thanks to the Darebee team for their dedication, hard work, and commitment!
