This is another short one (10-15 min approx). I like these little circuits because they take very little time, equipment, and you still manage to hit most of your muscle groups – Shoulders from the presses; Back from the rows; glutes, quads, hams from the squats and deadlifts; Core from the planks – Et Voila! FULL BODY BABY!
Also, moving from one exercise to the next quickly allows you to get your heart rate up as well, and of course takes out any boredom from your workout. Ideal for the ADD client (and me lol)
Since it is short, feel free to add this to your cardio routine for example doing this after your run or spin class in order to make into a full body workout.
Try it out and let me know what you think!
