One of my favorite shows (and one of the few that I actually make time for in my never-ending schedule) is LOST. If you're not familiar with the show, LOST is the story of the survivors of flight 815 after their plane crashes on an island somewhere in the South Pacific.
As I sat here anxiously waiting for tonight's episode to start, it got me thinking: what would I do if
I were lost on a tropical island? I'd probably have
lots of time on my hands to spend working out, but without my nice squat cage and dumbbell rack, what would I do with the time between catching fish and trying to get myself rescued?
More importantly, what would
you do? If you're like me, then you've already got visions of pushups on the beach and tree-branch pull-ups, lifting rocks and single leg squats, swimming circuits in the ocean and even a jungle obstacle course. If you're like me, you already love bodyweight exercises and mixing up your workouts, trying different things for a new stimulus, a new challenge, and a new way of training to keep things fresh, effective and fun.
So what
would you do if you were trapped on a tropical island with plenty of fish, coconuts and time on your hands?
