This workout is taken from the book Never Gymless by Ross Enamait. Since I just mentioned the book in another thread I figured that I would post a workout to give you an idea of the type of training that is included. You can find this workout, called “No Excuses” on Ross’ website here: http://www.rosstraining.com/articles/noexcuses.html
[quote]This workout will take exactly 10 minutes to complete. There is no rest until you have finished the entire 10 minute circuit. The workout begins with a 60 second interval of each exercise. You then move immediately to a 45 second interval, then 30 seconds, and finally 15 seconds.

Give this one a try if you have 10 minutes to spare and let me know how you did. It is definitely not for beginners but it is a good way to test yourself and see just how much mettle you really have.
