You know I like to get you started off on the right foot when the week begins. Even if that foot is in a single leg lunge… 😉 
This week’s circuit workout engages the core quite a bit! You can add weights to some of these exercises to increase the difficulty. Try to keep the tempo up to keep your heart rate up!
- Spiderman pushups: Get in a regular pushup position. As you pushup down, lift your right leg off the ground, bringing your right knee to your right elbow. Replace your foot back as you come back to the starting position. Repeat on the other side.
- Reverse plank triceps dips: Get in a reverse plank position with your arms straight. Your body should be flat, with your feet extended out in front of you. (You should be facing the ceiling, with your palms facing toward your feet) Bend your elbows and dip down as low as you can, keeping your body flat.
- Single leg burpees: These are regular burpees, but only on one leg.
- Walking lunge curls: Do 20 consecutive curls on your right leg, and as you return to standing do a bicep curl with your left arm. Repeat 20 more on the other leg/arm.
- Rocking sit-ups: Start in a standing position, sit down on the ground and rock back with your knees and feet in the air. Rock forward and stand back up on your feet. (Try and use momentum here, but if need be, use one arm to get back up.)
- Wide squat jump heel clicks: Start in a wide squat, squat down and jump up, clicking your heels in the air. Land back in a deep squat. Repeat 20 times.
- Standing pistol squats: Stand on one leg. Bend your standing leg down into a squat, sitting your hips back. Keep your front (non-supportive leg) straight in front of you the whole time. You can hold onto a post if these are difficult.
