Extreme Fitness: Part 1
Alright motivators, I have a few ways for you to get in some PT during your day, but I have to break it into segments since it is all kind of extreme.

Warm Ups:
Stretch out your arms, back, quads, calves, and chest. It will make it a lot easier.

1: Sprint 440 yards: Basically the distance between 3 light poles/power lines
2: Perform 50 push ups
3: Sprint back
4: 70 crunches
5: Sprint back to the third light pole/power line
6: Perform 50 air squats
7: Sprint back
8: Perform 50 close hand push ups
9: Sprint back to the second light pole/ power line
10: Sprint to the closest pull-up bar and perform 40 pull-ups
11: Repeat from step 1 at least 2 times
12: Once you can no longer move yourself effectively, perform your stretches in reverse order.

This is a bit extreme, so working up to this is recommended. But it will increase your anaerobic and cardio vascular strength.

440 yards is about two laps around a football field.

I shall do this for my cardio workout :P

Set time limits for yourself. About 4 minutes is enough to do a 44o if you are a slow runner. STICK TO THAT TIME LIMIT! Once you set the time limit, and can meet it easily, then lower the time you take.

Keep an eye out. Extreme Fitness: Part II is under construction. It is total upper body workout. It is a break off.

Cut it into 1/4 first. You need to start small. This is more for people that are all high and mighty on themselves and their fitness. Start small, finish big.

440 yard sprint? Sounds like it should be more of a stride or an even 400m sprint-stride. I wouldn't recommend stretching then jumping straight into a 400 (I'm saying 400 because the extra 40 is redundant) "sprint". You should get a jog or the sprint-stride routine as the start of your warm-up then get into your stretch to loosen your muscles. Afterwards you can get into that extreme workout.

Starting with a warm-up jog won't shock your body the right way that just jumping into a sprint will. By all means if you would like to start with a small jog before running to "warm-up" for the sprints, then by all means go ahead. But just jumping in will force your body to react, because your body won't always be ready.

I get what you mean but wouldn't it strain your muscles and make it easier for injury?

I've been doing it this way for years and I have not been injured yet. It will make your body tense up and it will feel like it hurts because it is stretching your legs and making them more limber. A lot of people do it without stretching and they tear muscles all the time because they didn't do any stretching to loosen their legs up.
