Some people scorn on these, or fail to find new ways to make them challenging.
I did one this morning: 5 different exercises 20 repetitions of each, then 30 seconds rest. Repeat 5 times. Then do a different 5 exercises, same structure, and finally another 5 exercises.
So you are doing 5 exercises, 20 repetitions, 30 seconds rest, 5 sets, three times. A total of 15 different exercises, at 100 repetitions each.
The 30 seconds rest seems quite long at the beginning, but by the 10th set I needed the rest.
I varied the exercises in each block of 5 with legs, upper body, abs, jumps/ burpees/ sprawls.

I first met James at a South West Gymnastic conference and thought he was superb then, and still do! James' ability to adapt to different sports and levels is excellent, and he is superb at getting his message across to different ages of gymnasts. He did a workshop at our club for our competitive gymnasts and it was superb, His work was of great value to a wide range of ages and levels, with a tremendous emphasis on posture and injury prevention. We have been able to put his training methods into practice and are seeing an improvement in the all round strength and fitness of our gymnasts.
