A New Format For Your Workouts
Looking for a way to add change to your routine? Consider implementing this new format into your next workout. Take anywhere from six to ten exercises of your choice and create a timed circuit. Spend one minute doing each exercise until you’ve completed the entire circuit. Upon completion of the first round, eliminate the first exercise that you did and complete the rest of the circuit again. Continue this pattern until you get down to the last exercise. Complete that exercise alone for one minute and finish with a cool down and stretch!
For added intensity, shoot to complete 7 exercises in 30 minutes or less, or 10 exercises in 60 minutes or less. Also take into consideration whether you want to make the circuit strength or cardio based or if you want to include both. This can be completed as an upper, lower, core, or total body workout. Good luck!
