I have been doing a ton of circuit workouts lately and trying to make sure to share them with my readers of my blog since it will give you some new ideas of what you can do in the gym or at home. Today I started the workout with a HIIT treadmill routine to get warmed up and burn some calories. I like to add in the use of resistance bands to help with leg positioning/stance as well as for side lunges and squats. I do circuit training a few times a week to add into my lifting workouts. I also do 3-4 days of cardio now because I’d like to start to cut a bit to show some of my gains. I’ve been feeling kind of soft lately so I want to get a bit more cut so that has been helping.
- Then I moved into the workout room I usually film in and did a full circuit routine. All exercises are done in sets of 10 reps
- Do this entire circuit for 3 total rounds
- No rest between exercises. 2-3 rest between sets. Should take around 25 minutes to complete and then finish with your favorite cardio after. Do not forget to strength and cool down.
- I had originally filmed a full length video but my files were not loading to import and edit. These short clips will just have to do.
- 10 push ups (on knees or regular)
- 10 crunches (knees to chest with shoulders off the ground)
- 10 Plated over head raises
- 20 reverse lunges (10 for each leg)
- 20 Resistance band
side lunges (10 to each side alternating)
- 10 stiff leg dead lifts with resistance band
- 20 resistance band
side leg raises/fire hydrants (10 on each side)
- 10 played front squats super low (elbows touch to knees)
- 10 medicine ball
tricep overhead into basic crunch
- 10 stability ball
plank crunches
For my workout gear today I have been finding a ton of cute leggings in fun patterns at my local TJ Maxx. I got both this sheer training top and pants from there. I always love to wear fun colors or patterns for my workouts.
