* If the lack of a gym membership forces you to train like you're in the Big House, this is the routine for you. No weights required-just a pull-up bar and a bad attitude.
THE ROUTINE
* Perform the workout as a circuit, dropping two reps from each exercise every time around. Start with 10 reps for your first circuit, then eight the second, six the third, and so on. Continue down to zero reps.
If you want to make it harder, drop only one rep after each set, so you'd do 10, nine, eight, etc.
* PULL-UP
* PUSH-UP
* JUMP SQUAT
* HANDSTAND HOLD Kick your legs over your head and balance against a wall. Hold for a few seconds less than you possibly can.
* HANGING LEG RAISE
Hang from a pull-up bar. Raise your legs overhead.
* BENCH DIP
