Imagine you are a Child again, with Boundless Energy, and approach this Challenge with Enthusiasm!
Burpees no one likes these, for good reason, they are tough but my god will you see a difference in your bum, legs and thighs if you keep this up: from standing, crouch down, place palms on floor, jump legs back into full push-up position (add a push up if you wish), then jump legs back to crouch pose and stand up (or jump up). Repeat again.
When Marching swing your arms and lift your knees up high this is your Active-Rest between intervals.
Before Starting: Grab a stopwatch (I like my Gymboss timer) or an egg timer that will alert you when the time has passed, a bottle of water and a towel (for all the sweat that will be dripping off you!)

Remember the Marching phase is your active-recovery to allow your heart rate to even out and muscles relax, thus allowing you to put all your intensity into your next round of Jumping Jacks and Burpees.
This is a challenge for those of you who have been regularly working out for a few months.
If you are beginner or have any joint issues please consult with your doctor prior to performing these exercises!
