TOTAL CIRCUIT 010

Hi gang!

Here's our total Circuit for this week, a bit of a cardio based one that will get the lungs working hard  :)
We are going to attempt to bring you all a new Total Circuit each week from now on with hopefully also some weekly climbing workouts and some other bonus material, so look out for lot's more coming up!

Here is this week's Total Circuit. Remember to simply set your timer for 1 minute intervals and perform as many repetitions of each exercise as you can for each minute then move on to the next one. As always there are 10 exercises and you will do each for 1 minute then go through it a second time for a total of a 20 minute work out. Go get it!!!

********************************

Here are the 10 exercises...

-----------------

1. Skipping - Using a skipping rope or an old piece of any rope or even pretending to jump rope if you don't have one. Keep up a good pace for the full minute.

-----------------

2. V Sits -  My old favorite. Be sure to keep your back and legs nice and straight.



-----------------

3. Star Jumps - Some of you call these Jumping Jacks, but whatever you call them we all know these ones. Just try and keep a nice steady pace throughout the minute,

-----------------

4. Push Up to Side Plank -Perform a normal shoulder width push up then rotate up into a solid side plank, hold the position for 3 seconds, then back down, push up again and up on the other side, repeat.



 -----------------

5. Squat Jumps - Squat down and touch the floor with your hands then jump as high as you can into the air reaching up as high as you can, then back down to touch the floor and repeat non stop for the minute.



-----------------

6. Leg Raises - Lay on your back, hands by your sides and raise your legs up to 90 degrees then lower back down to just about the floor and repeat without actually touching the floor each time.



-----------------

7 Mountain Climbers - Put your hands out in a standard push up position, jump one foot forward then jump and switch feet. your hands remain on the ground but you jump your feet to alternate which is forwards and which is back. If this is too hard try it with your hands on a chair rather than the ground.



-----------------

8. Skipping - Repeat exercise 1.

-----------------

9. Star Jumps - Repeat exercise 3.

-----------------

10. Squat Jumps - Repeat exercise 5.


----------------------------------------------------------------------------


Ok, there you have it. This one should be pushing your cardio hard and turning your legs to jelly. If it's not then you aren't trying hard enough!!!

Enjoy, and as always feel free to contact us with any questions you may have about this or any other workout here!

Go get training!
