120 Push-ups + 10 Towers



Warm up: 10 min

120 Push-ups: 30 > 20 > 20 > 20 > 30
10 Towers

Cool down: 10 min

It is a 5 stories tower, and I alternated my climbs. First one I did every step, second one every other, and so on... until I climbed the tower 10 times.
Took me about 14 min to complete my set on the tower.
All together, it was a good workout.

100 Push-ups + 100 Military Presses




2.5 miles run before my night shift.

At Co. 4:

Warm up: 10 min

3 sets of:

15 abd crunches
15 leg raises on the floor
10 leg raises on the pull up bar

5 sets for time of:

20 offset push-ups on medicine ball (10R + 10L)
20 military presses with 45lbs Olympic bar

The push-ups/military presses set smoked my upper body. I did late at night, about 10 p.m., and I did it for time. So it took me 10 min, and I ended up doing 100 push-ups and 100 military presses in pretty short amount of time. Give a shot.
