We have just discovered Melissa Ioja’s workouts on Youtube. She shares bodyweight circuit training workouts that are excellent for burning fat and improving fitness. She does today’s in her backyard, even when her neighbors are working loudly next door.
This is a great workout and includes one-arm mountain climbers, rocket launchers and a lot of skipping. You skip between each other exercise – if you do not have a jump rope / skipping rope do high-knees instead.

There are 20 exercises, each is done for 40 seconds. Repeat the circuit twice. Print out the exercises or watch the video below while you do the workout.
