With the weather getting colder, it’s easier to put off going to the gym. If you can’t make a class or don’t want to run in the freezing temperatures, try this simple circuit. It will get your heart rate up while giving your muscles a workout. Try to do each activity with great form for 1 minute.
Repeat as many as 4 times talking a 1-2 minute water break in between sets.
- mountain climbers
- pushups
- alternating lunges with dumbbell bicep curl
- burpees or squat thrusts
- both arm dumbbell row – focus on squeezing between your back
- squat jumps
- overhead shoulder press with squat
- sit down, stand up – repeat (so much harder than you would think)
- tricep dips on a chair or step
- jumping jacks – big moves
I was making dinner yesterday and look who just came by for a visit. Anna loved it. You would think we lived way out in the country but that’s not the case – just our pet deer.
Squat thrusts are the death of me. Seriously. But they are so effective!
I know – the burn is so good and so bad! 🙂 Plus your abs get surprise attacked!
