Yeah, thats good training, while im on leave im doing super 16's with press-ups and sit-ups using the half way line of a footy pitch as the 'sprint to line' and im doing firemans carries before and after the whole session, firemans carries are from one end of the pitch to the other through the goal post and back to the half way line and just a full length at the end. Really good workout, especially if you really push yourself on the sprints :wink:

sure thing, its done in pairs, 1 person doing the press-ups or sit-ups or squats etc and 1 person sprinting, the person sprinting sprints of to an agreed line place 50m away ish then jogs back 50%, the other person does 1 rep of the exercise then marks time until the other guy gets back from his sprint, then they swap over ie the person who has just sprinted does 1 rep of the exercise and the other guy goes and does the sprint, when he get back he then does 2 reps of the exercise while the other guy sprints. This continues going up by 1 rep each time they swap all the way up to 16 reps of the exercise, so by that time they will have done 16 sprints and 136 reps of the exercise i think. then you go onto the next exercise, ie changing from press-ups to sit-ups and starting from 1 again.

understand? :wink:
