1. 30-second sprint w/ a 30-second job (x9)
2. 35-second sprint w/ a 45-second job (x6)
3. 45-second sprint w/ a 60-second job (x7)
4. 50-second sprint w/ a 45-second jog (x8)
5. 55-second sprint w/ a 30-second jog (x7)
6. 60-second sprint w/ a 45-second jog (x6)
7. 65-second sprint w/ a 60-second jog (x5)
8. 70-second sprint w/ a 45-second jog (x6)
9. 75-second sprint w/ a 30-second jog (x7)

Building up ample amounts of muscle is one thing, but improving your stamina will help you in many aspects regarding everyday life. You can achieve a physical change for the better without using special equipment, you just need the right information to work with (and the willpower needed to follow through!).
