Why is exercise important?

“Everything that isn’t exercise is recuperation, but for me the benefits of off time come not from enhancing athletic performance but from enhancing life.

Exercise, fitness, sport,
and even health are only important
in that they serve a broader purpose
– life.

We are made more alive by exercise and fitness but reading, playing, studying, and loving also make us more
alive and enrich us greatly entirely independent of our physical well being. I wholly recommend that you focus
the 23-½ hours daily of non-exercise not on increased physical performance but on enriching your soul.”
 - Greg Glassman, CF Journal, Issue 29, 2005

For 20 minutes cycle through the following exercises incrementing 1 rep every minute on the minute:-

Thruster, 20kg
Burpee (chest & thighs to the floor)
V-Up

eg,

1 thruster in the 1st minute
2 burpees in the 2nd minute
3 Vups in the 3rd minute
4 thruster in the 4th minute
5 burpees in the 5th minute etc

Reps must be completed within the minute to stay in the game.
If you fall behind the clock, take note of the last completed round, and then continue until the time runs out, trying to complete as many rounds as you can.

Scale down the weight, take the pushup out of the burpee, and sub a sitting knee up or situp for the beginners
