Wintertime’s a coming. A lot of us are either too far from the beach, too busy with school and work, or having trouble being awake to seriously find time for that nice “body crushing” workout that leaves you incapacitated for days at a time. Or maybe its just me.

Anyway, I find that the times I have the most energy are in the middle of my 2 hour lecture classes, where I just want to pop out a quick hundred pushups. Unfortunately, thats exactly when I have to be focused, and the energy intterupts that. So I started doing my own workout in the 10 minute break we have during the middle of class.

-10x Volleyball Approaches down the hallway, touching the approx 10′ ceiling.
-Walk back down hallway on your hands, falling down prohibited.
-Jog down stairs.
-Hold Handstand in between two rocks. Repeat for about 6 minutes with as little pauses as possible. Do pushups if you can.
-5 Backflips off rock.
-5 Standing Back Tucks on flat ground.
-50 Pushups
-Jog up stairs.
-Walk the hallways on your hands, falling down ok this time.
-10x Volleyball approaches back to class, where people will be kind of staring at you like you are out of your mind.

It’s not a lot, and its not like its terribly difficult. But banging it all out in 10 minutes is fun, and you seriously burn off a ton of energy doing it. If you have a boring class, or boring job with a small break, this might be something you’d really benifit from doing. If it seems too easy, add weight. Wear your backpack with all your books while you do your jump approaches and pushups. Or substitute handstand pushups for the rock, do them on a wall. Listening to some cool song like “Eye of the Tiger” while you do this can inspire you to do more (or finish!) so get on that iTunes and make a playlist of pump up songs.

Oh, also this workout is a big hit with the opposite sex. If you can’t do a handstand to save your life, its time to start working on it.
