I Need To Build My Stamina

another bad ass routine i just remembered....

10 burpees
10 press ups
10 sit ups
10 squats

repeat as many times as possible in 20 minutes with NO rests.

 

Situps would be redundant there, guy.
Try Tuck jumps or some crazy ****.

I hate burpees.
What's your 50 burpee time, Relentless? I'm sure I've tried it. I did it in just over 5 minutes, the last 2 I stopped for a pseudo-breather, and that was that for about 30 seconds.

 

100 burpee in 8 mins, i dont think they were proper though, after the first 30 i couldn't go all the way down.

 

I remember reading a lot of workouts just like this one in one of ross's books. You can download them for free with a torrent search instead of spending money at a borders or something if you'd like. I Kind of do like a cross training routine. After the initial warm-up of stretching and biking - I do a round of jump-rope then floor-work, then bag-work, then floor-work, then bag-work, then floor-work, and repeat this process. Floor-Work = 10 knuckle pushups (with handwraps on), 10 pullups (alternating rounds with chinups), 10 hindu squats, 10 medicine ball situps. After the workout is over i have done 400 reps. 100 pushups, 50 pullups, 50 chinups, 100 hindu squats, 100 medicine ball situps. I have some pretty good strength with this, but great stamina, which is what you're looking for. Honestly I don't have EXACT timed breaks, I drink a lot of water in between rounds and get right back to work when I'm done drinking. I have a bucket of water for dunking my head in too. It's useful for the summer days. The Workout in detail. It's simple, but it works for me:

Stationary bike & full body stretches
15 Minutes of jump-rope; 1 set floor-work.
3X3 rounds of heavy-bag; 1 set floor-work after each round.
3X3 rounds of speed-bag; 1 set floor-work after each round.
3X3 rounds of floor-to-ceiling bag; 1 set floor-work after each round.

It's nothing special but you will get a good idea of how the conditioning drills of the ilk Relentless mentioned.

 

The stationary bike and stretches are done at a pace that'll get the body warmed-up (it shouldn't stress you). Then take a drink of water and wrap your hands up. Now You're gonna perform 15-minutes of jump-rope (break it down if you can't do it straight yet), then immediately do the 40 reps. Then your gonna rest/drink for about a minute and head onto the heavy-bag. After that It's like doing 4-minute rounds. Perform the boxing exercise, then immediately do the 40 reps. Then you take your break/drink and continue until it's over. I shoot for 60 second breaks, but I don't have a timer, so I might go too fast or too slow sometimes. Start simple. Attempt to do it all, then work on shortening the break periods to 60 seconds. This has been a great traditional home workout routine for me. I used to just do the regular workout and then the calisthenics at the end, but this has worked out a lot better for me. Hope this helps, good luck.

 

If you can get to a track, here's one for you...

Monday:
5x800m

Wednesday:
6x600m

Friday:
8x400m

Saturday:
15x100m

Tuesday & Thursday:
A tempo run of 2-4 miles, keeping the intensity moderate.

Also, as many have said, ICT (Integrated Circuit Training) EIT (Enhanced Interval Training) and the likes will beat your ass into shape.

Few examples...

Have a sandbag at the end of a 100m distance...

EIT:
Sprint 100m
Lunge back to the starting point w/sandbag.
Sandbag throws 100m
Sprint back to starting point
Rinse and repeat.

And probably the hardest ICT I've ever done:

Fortune 500:
100 Burpess
100 Medicine Ball Slams
100 Bodyweight Squats
100 Push-Ups
100 Pull-Ups
*Burpees must be performed in succession first, the order of the rest doesn't matter.
