This workout burns… it’s a great circuit that tones, gets your heart rate up, and works your whole body. This one is really easy to do anywhere you are- you don’t need much space either. All you need is your own bodyweight! I like to use a resistance band for some of these exercises, but if you don’t have one, you can still do the circuit without it. Find your workout partner and get your body moving this weekend! Follow along below to see how I do the exercises.
Imaginary Ladder warm up
1.“Fast Feet”: x20
Pretend there’s a square on the ground: put your right foot in, left foot in, right foot out, left foot out, and repeat. Go as fast as you can.
2.“In + Out” : x20
Same imaginary square: put your right foot into the square, quickly alternate to put your left foot into the square. Switch back and forth as fast as you can.
3.“Criss-Cross”: x 20
This one is tricky! Cross your right foot over your left, jump back to a standing position, cross your left foot over your right, jump back to a standing position. Keep alternating quickly.
4.“High-Knees”: x 20
5.“Kick-Backs”: x 20
Now abs and resistance bands!
“Bicycle crunches”: x20
“Standing pulse”: x10 each side
“Plank”: x30 seconds hold, then forward + backward for 30 seconds
“Jump pulse”: x 1 minute: pulse slowly 5x, jump to the left, pulse slowly 5x, jump to the right, repeat x1 minute
“Tabletop kickbacks”: x10 each side
“Reverse crunch”: x 20
Repeat the series 2-3 more times. Will you be trying this!?
