Half court and back sprint followed by 1 minute of pushups and then a half court and back sprint with one minute of situps.  This is one set.  5 sets.  I got burned out pretty quickly.

One minute of pushups followed by one minute of situps to warm up.  Thought the loop would be closer to a mile, but it felt shorter than a mile.  A lot shorter.  If anything, it might be 3/4 of a mile, but I think it was closer to a half.  After this "short run", I was reminded of how out of shape I am.  Although my legs were a little sore, my knee didn't feel so bad.

Started with three sets of pushps, rowers and air squats.  Twenty reps each set.  It was a nice warm up.  I would say it was easy, but strangely enough, it wasn't as easy as I remember it being.  Looking at the workout calendar, I can see why.

About 20 minutes worth of running.  I broke out the pace keeping app.  Can't remember what it is called.  Walked for a minute and ran for a minute until I completed the distance.  I thought I would be closer to 150 bpm.  However, I am somewhere in the 170 - 175 bpm range when I do this.  If I jog, then I'm sure I'm closer to 155 or 160 bpm.

10 minutes and a wall sit.  5 minutes of pushups.  5 minutes of situps.  A halfcourt sprint and back after every minute.  To finish it all off, 1 minute wall sit.

Untimed.  2 laps around the neighborhood without taking any side streets.  Very painful.

Pushups, situps, air squats and ladder climbs

7 sets: 10 PU, 10 SU, 20 SQ and 1 ladder.  I actually stopped climbing the ladder after set 5.  In the movies, when you climb the ladder up to the chopper in midair, it looks so easy. It was a lot harder than it looked.

Horrible.  Could barely run.  Knee hurts but not as bad as normal.  Wanted to stop, but managed to keep plugging along until the end.  Who knew that covering so short a distance could require so much effort.  Two laps around the abandoned neighborhood without side roads.
