[QUOTE="punisher, post: 207888"] This is the workout our team does when we are away from any equipment. It's called the television workout because you should be able to do it during the course of a standard television program. Television Workout 10 explosive push-ups (where your hands actually come off the ground due to the upward force. Rocky claps his hands after each one) 25 situps 15 burpees (aka squat-thrusts) 10 explosive push-ups 25 situps (quickly touch left elbow to right knee, then right elbow to left knee each time up) 15 burpees 25 regular push-ups 10 leg raises Lay on ground, lift legs 6-12 inches off the ground, hold for one minute. 10 push-ups with hands close set so your thumbs touch and your forefingers touch (making a diamond in between) 15 Mountain climbers 10 elevated push-ups (feet on floor, hands on chair or coffee table) You can get a pretty good full-body workout with mostly body weight exercises. I'd suggest you buy a pull-up bar and a set of adjustable dumbells. With that, you can craft a complete body workout that will get you in rugby shape.
