Great, great exercise. No equipment needed, and a fantastic way to boost conditioning and work capacity:
1. Stand with your feet shoulder width apart.
2. Squat down and put your hands on the ground just outside your knees.
3. Kick your feet back and drop into a pushup position.
4. As you push up, pull your knees back into the squat position.
5. Leap straight up, either with a knee tuck or straight leg extension.
You can use this exercise in a variety of combinations or within a circuit. The simplest way is to do 3 sets of 10 reps to start with a minute rest between sets. Make each jump explosive, and be sure to drop your belly to the floor for the pushup. You can also use a medicine ball that is placed in front of you. Grab the medicine ball for the jump and place it back down before the pushup.
With respect,
Sohan

That looks interesting. I'd try it now but the guys at work would probably think I'm more wierd than they already think I am.

It is excellent. I have done it once so far, for 30 second intervals, and it wears me out! Thanks so much for the tip!

Do them at home. I do, because my wife already knows I'm weird.

Try Tabata intervals. Do 20 seconds of burpees, then rest 10 seconds. Do this 8 times total (4 minutes total). Simple but highly effective workout.

Sohan

Thanks, I may try that. I may need to get my wife to time the intervals for me!

| i have a question, are these effective at all if you do them without the jump? Because I would like to develop a morning/night training routine which I do at home when i get out of bed. the problem is I have a 9foot cieling (basement suite), but I do have a fair ammount of room (ie. for shadow boxing), what do you guys recommend I do? |
