  1)12-15 pushups
  2)20-25 bodyweight squats
  3)15-18 incline pullups
  4)15 burpees
  
  Do 1) through 4) CONTINOUSLY no break.
  
  Lets see how long you will last
  
  To be truthful, after 4 mins i feel like sh!t already.But i continued for about 3 mins more.After that took a breather and did for another 2 mins.Did it after gym.

  so do 1-4, rest, 1-4, or 1-4, 1-4 with no rest at all? and how long can we rest?
  
  can we do this daily?
  
  and if we don't have access to a incline pull up bar, what is a good substitute?

  He means that interval training is superior to jogging, for training stamina and endurace.
  
  To make it even more simple, u want to train stamina/endurance, do the program Simon Dean posted in this topic.

  If that friend of mine hears this , he will say how can interval training replaces running for long distance ? You need to run long distance to train endurance you know ? What about those marathon runners ? Do they just did interval training to compete in competitions ?

  Simple. Marathoners/triathletes are idiots. Man was not created to run for long distances. He was created to sprint for short distances. The old tale of the marathon had the messenger dying the moment he finished running the distance. Several triathletes and marathoners have also died(a few in Singapore just this past year). Emerging medical research has also shown long duration cardiovascular work to downsize the heart and make it weaker, so why are you still running long distance?

  When interval training/HIIT becomes a piece of cake for you, jogging will be child's play.
  
  Besides how many people have we heard dieing from marathons and triathlons.Now ask yourselves how many people have died from doing weights and interval training?
  
  YES.There have been stories of people who just lift kettlebells and join marathons.I have to ask Jonathan more clearly on this.

  I think it is not just my friend , to many pple and myself sometimes, it only seems logical to run a longer distance to train endurance. Perhaps , we are being educated the wrong stuff in schools since the beginning.
