My current workout routine.
For those of you who are like me and want to strength train but don't really have access or time to hit the weights, here's what I do:

- Spend 30 minutes on an elevated treadmill, or walk/jog/run. This is your warm-up and cardio.

- Stretch. This is important. Stretching allows you to perform better on strength training exercises, and improves flexibility.

- Perform 200 bicycle manuevers.

- Perform 100 crunches.

- Perform 50 bridges.

- Perform 15 push-ups, bringing your chin to the floor each time. (Set 1)

- Perform 40 jump squats.

- Perform 15 push-ups, bringing your chin to the floor each time. (Set 2)

- Stretch again.

- Warm down.

Things I'm considering changing:

- Incorporating claps into the push-up routine.

- Incorporating a jump-rope.

Keep in mind that:

- I'm a fencer, and therefore am focusing on lower body strength/power and core stability, although I'm trying to enhance upper body strength/power as well.

- Depending on your level of fitness, you may need to tone down or ratchet up the intensity of these exercises (# of reps is the most obvious way). These are really just guidelines for those who don't know where to begin.

- These exercises are likely not as effective as weight training. In fact, I'd like to hit the weights myself soon...

- I take no liabiity for any health issues or injuries resulting from my program or advice.
