This moderate to advanced circuit workout routine can give you a full body workout that gets your heart pounding and your muscles burning. You'll need a bit of floor space, a few dumbbells, an exercise ball, a pull up bar and a timer.
Start with a short warm up, and then do 60 second intervals of each exercise with a 10 second gap for transitioning to the next exercise. Aim for a 20 minute workout for beginners and then ramp it up to 30 or more minutes as you get more fit.
For the more ambitious, add a 30-60 second round of rope jumping between each exercise and you will keep you heart rate elevated the whole time and boost your endurance.
Finish with a nice relaxed foam roller session and you will have a complete workout in a little time.
The plank on an exercise ball will not only help your body continue to warmup, but your'll work your core muscles, and build core stabilization. You can keep it basic b holding one position, or make it far more difficult by doing small rolling circles, rolling left and right or rolling forward and back. To make it a bit easier, you can spread your feet wider, and to make it more challenging, move your feet together or try one foot at a time. More »
The pull up is a great complement to the push up. It build back and arm muscles, and a few variations can help you engage the core as well. For beginners, start with a basic hang—use assistance (a chair or strap to get to the top) and try to keep your chin at the bar for as long as you can and slowly lower you self to start building strength.
As you get stronger, you can vary your hand position from wider to narrower, and hand grip from overhand to underhand. More »
This is a higher intensity move that requires a bit of fitness and coordination. Beginners should start with a very low box, or basic squat jumps with no box to prevent mishaps. As you get more fit and more comfortable, raise the box height, and change the pace of your jumps. You can jump up, then step down and repeat. Or you can jump up, and rebound back to the ground and right back up again. It all depends on your ability so do what works for you. Progress over time.
The one arm standing lat row is an easy way to isolate the lats and get a good back workout that targets the back, shoulders and arms. Doing one arm at a time also helps better balance the right and left side. Try to use the same pace, and do 30-seconds on each side during your one-minute interval. More »
Work the abs and core with this unique leg lift and sit up combination. Beginners can do short repetitions and try to lift up and hold for a quick touch, and as you get stronger, you can attempt to hold the position longer. holding the position also requires balance and stability. Practice controlling to movement in a slow, steady pace and avoid bouncing or jerking up and down. More »
Finish the routine with side planks. This really counts as two exercises, because you'll need to hold the position for up to 60 seconds on both sides. Beginners may need to take little breaks to fill the whole minute, but as you get stronger, hold the position longer until you can do 60 seconds. You can also make this harder by holding the position while on your elbow rather than on you hand. More »
