Craig Ballantyne (Turbulence Training author) has released some great body weight challenge videos on YouTube. The body weight 100 challenge is a great workout to perform as a beginning interval workout or as a “light” workout saved for the weekend. Although there is nothing light about it, if you have ever tried body weight intervals before, you know it kicks major butt!

Craig says the challenge is to complete it within in 9 minutes and he says that he can do it in 7 minutes. However, don’t worry so much about the time if you’re not in shape. The point is to do as much as you can and progress over time. The exercises are fairly simple but you may have to substitute for the pull-ups or body weight rows if you don’t have access to perform them.

As always, interval training isn’t for everyone so if you are new to it, consult with your doctor first.
