before breakfast

I'm trying to increase my total workout volume. Its very hard to wake up in the morning and do a heavy lifting or high-intensity set. Its hard mentally and physically so I've been doing what I call "basic" sets where I can work all major muscle groups pluscardio but nothing gets too fatigued. Hopefully, I can get to 1000 reps each morning. I'm half way there.

10 rounds of
"The Basic"
90 seconds to complete:
5 pull ups (can't do pullups? sub bent over dumbbell rows or arm haulers)
10 push ups
10 situps
10 back extensions
15 squats

if you finish the set before 90 seconds, rest remainder of the time before starting 2nd set.

The rest keeps you from blowing out too fast which will only shorten your actual workout.
