I am on vacation right now so I have to sneak my workouts in between fun, sun, friends and adult beverages. Luckily there is a park across the street from me that I can use a gym. Today I decided to a sprint workout with sets of push-ups and pull-ups thrown in to increase the workload and fun.
Warm-up
10 minutes of light calisthenics and dyanmic drills
Sprint/Body Weight Circuit, repeat as many times as possible, 10 sprints is a good number to shoot for
sprint
rolling start, 100m total
push-ups
to failure
sprint
same as above
pull-ups
to failure
Sprints make you lean and athletic but it can take a while to catch your breath so feel free to mix in some body weight drills while you recover. If it is safe run in barefeet and take your shirt off, guys and I guess daring ladies, to get some extra sun. Keep the workout short and snappy to avoid stress.
I was just in Brooklyn last week. Really cool city! You might be able to get away with hill or wooden stair sprints. The impact is much less than flat sprints. Personally I can't jog, it hurts my joints too much.

I missed running because I stopped 2 years from now due to my knee injury.
