Ok...I had taken a week off from training because I was in the middle of coordinating a basketball tournament and to rest my wrist. My wrist were really giving me problems. So to come back from a week off to a workout like this was devastating....What you see above is the proposed workout. This is what I completed...It was raining of all things. So I started out on the rowing machine. I rowed 400m then ran 400m then rowed 400m then ran 400m..I did this with a partner who could not do as much running and because I did not want to run in the rain.I completed 100 pullups, 200 pushups and 250 squats in 55 minutes. I walked half a mile after that. My bad knee would not allow me to run.. I was disappointed in myself or should I have been.. That was a heck of a workout for anyone..

Workout:
Pull Ups for 4 minutes; 20 seconds exercising 10 seconds rest
Push Ups for 4 minutes; 20 seconds exercising 10 seconds rest
Sit Ups for 4 minutes; 20 seconds exercising 10 seconds rest
Squats for 4 minutes; 20 seconds exercising 10 seconds rest
for a total of 16 minutes

This was a pretty cool workout.. It wasn't extremely excruciating like other workouts yet it was challenging.. I've been having some problems with me wrists so the pull ups and push ups bothered me. The sit ups were not that bad. I'm becoming more confident with my squatting because my knee is feeling a lot better. I sprained my right knee playing basketball about 5 months ago.

Workout
60 Pullups
60 Pushups

It took me 14:00 to complete this workout.. It was a challenge.. I took on the pullups and pushups in 5 reps each for 12 rounds. Plus, these were not jumping pullups but regular ones and the pushups were not girl but regular.. So that added extra intensity to it.. I was pleased with my pushups.. I am getting stronger in the upper body because I have never been able to do more than 2 regular pushups and I did 60.
