Hence the vomit bucket


I've strained my groin from 2 sets of them over 2 weeks. Last time I did them, I was wheezing 10 minutes later

I'll have to give that a shot once it gets warmer out.

One of my favorites is sprinting hills. There was a nice, steep 100 meter one near my college that I'd always sprint up. I always sprinted that sucker at the end of a 3 mile run and over time, as my runs became faster and the hill became easier, my stamina skyrocketed. It also sheds calories like nothing.
