Jailhouse Workout

Sometimes life just throws too much at you and getting in the gym is impossible. Just because you become super-busy does NOT mean you can afford to stop exercising. When quality gym time is out of the picture, you must resort to improvisations.

THE JAILHOUSE WORKOUT

1. Regular push-ups (at least 25)
*30 second rest
2. Inclined push-ups...hands on table, feet on floor (at least 25)
*30 second rest
3. Declined push-ups...hands on floor, feet on table (at least 25)
*30 second rest ~NOT DONE YET!~
4. crunches (at least 50)
*30 second rest
5. Crunches again (at least 50)
*30 second rest
6. Diamond push-ups..put hands together like a diamond while in push-up position (at least 25)

***THIS IS IMPORTANT***
THAT WAS ONLY THE FIRST SET! REPEAT THIS AGAIN FOR AT LEAST 3 MORE SETS. TO REALLY PUSH YOURSELF, VARY THE SPEED AND FOCUS ON REALLY SQUEEZING THE MUSCLES AT THEIR PEAK.
