Found this one online and I love it. I also have a new appreciation for my grandfather's military service during this time period. They must have been in incredible shape. I'd like to know what their injury rate was though. Probably still low since most were strong farm boys already.
We kept the squat jumps and sit ups at two minutes. I didn't want to hurt anyone on this the first time out but they all handled it pretty well and definitely enjoyed another different workout. Gotta get them back into the gym and lifting some weight though. Might do wall balls and/or Karen then...mooohaahaaahaaaaa...
