100 bodyweight squats
25 stickups
50 bicycle crunches
100 pushups
50 underhand inverted rows
50 Swiss ball leg curls
100 bicycle crunches
50 decline pushups
25 overhand inverted rows
50 mountain climbers
50 bodyweight squats
25 chin-ups (underhand)
100 rope skips or jumping jacks

I've just decided to do this for my workout today, not really sure why but felt I needed a kick up the proverbial during my training yesterday and this may just do the job... Similar in format to the 300 workout posted earlier in the week, 1000 reps total, aim to complete the entire circuit in the minimum time. You are meant to build up to this using the 6 week Turbulence Training programme designed for the purpose - so I am not recommending you try this at home without the pre-requisite conditioning!

This is actually a perfect 'park workout' - the bars in the kids area are super handy for the pull ups and inverted rows... Of course you'll need a swiss ball, too.

Will keep you posted on progress, or rather whether I have survived it or not... May take me a week - in the clip above Craig said it took him 45 mins the first time he tried, and I can only do 6 pull ups in a row at the mo.... Eeekkk.... Pressing the 'post' button means I am committed to doing this now... What have I let myself in for???
