You are talking about circuit training, which is a mixture of strength-endurance-cardio all in one workout, it is good for developing general all around fitness. Sometimes when I am busy and don`t have much time, I will do a high intensity full body circuit with weights and kettlebells, it only takes about 20 minutes and I am totally wasted...25 rep squats or Tabata Intervals with kettlebells is another good way to get your heart pumping really really hard. OPs program is different and it is more about developing pure strength...
