Eight Straight without Weight
Today we're going for a lot of endurance as we hit eight exercises back to back to back without any sort of break. These are all bodyweight exercises (except for two stretch band ones), so you won't need any weights, just one anchored stretch band.

Photo	Exercise	Sets	Reps	Comments
	Plyo Punching	3	16	Get yourself warmed up and then start on plyo-punching. Be sure to create the motion from your hips and transfer it through your toes as you twist. Use a stretch band or cable machine for resistance. Do eight reps per arm with medium resistance and then move on to rowing without a break.
	Plyo Row Extension	3	16	Using the same anchored stretch band or cable machine, start on a plyometric pulling motion. Pull by engaging the back muscles, but more importantly twist the hips as you do so. As you gain momentum from a strong pull extend the arm outward to use this motion. Perform eight reps per arm and then move on.
	V-Up	3	8	Perform 8 V-ups, or as near as you can. If you can't do them or can't do 8, continue with crunching situps. Make sure to sit all the way up with each repetition. After eight reps move on without a break.
	X-Squat / Drop Lunge	3	16	Perform X-Squats alternating sides for eight reps per side (16 total). Be sure to keep the back straight and the eyes focused ahead. Move on without a break after the set of 16.
	Superman	3	16	Perform eight reps of Superman per leg. Take your time and use good form, but don't take any breaks between. Keep working throughout. After you're done all 16 reps, move on without a break.
	Standing Side Leg Raise	3	16	Stand up with good posture and perform eight side leg raises per leg, raising the leg as high as you can each time. Don't alternate legs. Move on without a break afterward.
	Hip Crossover	3	16	Perform eight hip crossovers per side with full leg extension (knees locked). Go to the left eight times, then to the right eight times, then move on to the next exercise without a break.
	Pushup	3	8	Last exercise in this crazy eight workout for 2008. Perform eight push-ups. If this is easy for you try a new style of push-ups such as push-ups on a stability ball, long push-ups, handstand push-ups, triangle push-ups, or fingertip push-ups. After rest for 1-2 minutes as needed and then start the whole thing over. Repeat for a total of three rounds.
