Last Saturday I did a bit of what I dubbed as a "Mini Murph" I ran half a mile for a warm up and cool down. Then I did 25 assisted pull ups on the machine, 100 push ups, (I was sore for at least 4 days after this workout!) and 100 air squats. I also included 100 ab exercises. (Pictured below) and about 24 leg raises. Quite the workout. Not recommended for beginners.
I also stumbled across this gem from Runners world. I might try and incorporate some of these moves next week!
I did a cycle of 5 assisted pull ups followed by 10 push ups and 10 air squats, until I completed 10 rounds of each.

I decided to keep being crazy and do some of these moves as well....
I did enough of those AB exercise to total about 100-150 "crunches". I was soooo sore & it made for a difficult run last Sunday morning. I've decided to do about half of this routine going forward, but overall it is great for building and toning muscle.

A few regular sit ups
(I Only did about 20-40...two hundred sit ups)
A few Squirms, otherwise known as alternating heel touch
(This site looks like it has a great AB workout. track.ahsdistance.org)
