Isn’t it about time for a new circuit? That is what I thought. Today’s circuit is an AWESOME calorie burner. It will have you sweating, burning tons of calories, and burning fat. All. Good. Things. The point of this circuit is for you to keep your heart rate high the WHOLE time. The quicker you bust through these exercises, the better. My recommendation? Pump up the energizing jams and picture yourself busting through these exercises like the athlete you are. Get ready…this is a fun one. 🙂
5 minute warm up (jog, elliptical, jumping jacks, etc.)
REPEAT THIS 3 TIMES
– 20 Box Jumps (You can do these on a bench/stairs/chair/or box platform. You want to jump up and land with both feet on the bench and then back down on the ground. No resting!)
– 15 Up downs (standing position, hands on the ground, jump feet back laying body flat on the ground face down, feet jump in and stand up)
– 15 push ups
REPEAT THIS 3 TIMES
– 40 high knees (20 on each side)
– 15 Squat curl presses with dumbbells/bar/medicine ball
– 1-2 minute plank
REPEAT THIS 3 TIMESÂ
– 20 squat jumps
– 20 walking lunges holding dumbbells
– 15 burpees (standing position, jump back to push up position, pushup, feet jump in, jump up hands in the air)
REPEAT THIS 3 TIMES AS FAST AS YOU CAN
– 15 push ups
– 15 cherry pickers on each side
– 40 quick mountain climbers
Wipe of your sweat, and pat yourself on the back because YOU’RE DONE!!
This will be a KILLER, but it is so doable. These are the types of workouts that give you results because your heart rate is high, you are burning calories, you are working ALL of your muscle groups, and you are busting out that cardio all at the same time. TRY IT!!
Oh…and do you know what is glorious…this is.
Do you like circuit workouts? Do you want more of them?? I am a huge fan because they are so efficient, and I think they are a heck of a lot more fun to do!
Love a circuit workout. I do them 3 times a week with a personal trainer. Tough stuff.
Holy Moly – you just made my day. I’m stealing that to run my bootcamp through tomorrow. Now I can go do something fun instead of prepping class 😉
Thanks!
That looks like an awesome workout! I will definitely put it as my Sunday AM workout. Will report back!
Oh wow! Sounds nuts! Can’t wait to try it! How much time does it take? I think I can even do it at home when I am not able to go to the gym!

Love your circuits! Can’t wait to try this one 🙂
My class loved this workout. I had them make it competitive, so the first person to get to the allotted reps in each exercise would call out done and they would all then move on the the next exercise. It was FUN!!
