Thanks for the comments. It does look very tough. I normally do my pullups on a bar but I can imagine how tough rings will make them.

great video for the burpees – they’re an absolute must for any circuit training session! Love the combination of the pull up on the rings – looks tough!

It’s nothing to feel guilty about Tusc. Perhaps, just try the other version of the pushups once in a while and see how it feels.

It is a tough workout but it’s surprising how quick you adapt to it and manage to do it faster and with more water in the rucksack. Plus it’s a good alternative to the gym. I love the gym but I do rely on it too much for my workouts so things like this are a good way to prove to myself that I can get a good workout without the gym and without any special equipment.

Nice to see the girl kneeling down on the push up aspect of the burpee! I always feel guilty when i do that.

You’ve defintely got a nice alternative going there witht he sprints Tom. I’m sure it’s tough without any water at all!!

That looks like it would really be great! Tough but great. Maybe I will give it a shot.

I’ve always loved the analogy (saying): If it’s a question of fitness equipment ~ You’re wearing the answer.
Thanks for the suggestions.

Hey Andrew. Completely forgot about all the ‘New Years Resolutioners’ who appear at the gym in January. Yet another benefit of doing bodyweight exercises this month :-)

Tom,

That is amazing, I’ve been doing those same type of burpees at the gym because all the cardio machines have been taken up (New Year’s Resolutions and all). Great suggestion, I’m glad I could provide some inspiration. You’ve got what it takes!!

All the Best,

Andrew R
