Here are some video highlights from one of our Team AM (awakeningsmovement.com) training sessions at the playground. We are a few weeks out from competing for the first time, in the Men’s Health Urbanathlon.

During the time that we shot this footage, my focus was to help build up the guys’s muscle endurance, improve their overall conditioning, and build some killer strength, using only their bodyweight.

It started to get dark outside, during this training session, so some of the clips are not shown, due to the quality. However, this session’s program is listed below.

The workout circuit consisted of the following:

1. Box Jump Squats
2. Decline Push Ups
3. Bulgarian Split Squat
4. Incline Plyo Push Up (bonus: add a chest slap & behind the back clap)
5. Decline Mt. Climbers
6. Step Ups
7. Dips

Perform each exercise for 1 min. before moving to the next one. Rest 30 sec. between each exercise. Perform 5 rounds.

Take this workout for a spin, and get back to me. I’m sure you’re heart will be racing, but it will definitely add some spice to your current routine.
