This workout could easily be adopted anywhere. Here are recommendations for a home version:
Run on the treadmill to warm up for 5 – 10 minutes, then move your joints through their full range of motion (ideas are listed above).
Set your treadmill to an 8 – 10% incline. Run for 45 seconds on the incline, then complete 5 push-ups. Repeat for close-grip push-ups and wide push-ups. Then do the full drill two more times.
Set your treadmill to 1% incline. Run for 45 seconds then bound 10x per side over a weight bench, plyo box of even a coffee table (if it can handle it). Then set up a box of cereal on its side and do 10 lateral jumps over it per side. Run 45 seconds then complete a dead hang for 40 seconds. Repeat this full drill two more times.
Cooldown run for 5 – 10 minutes.
Have fun!
