Circuit Training

Hello everyone, I’m back from a brief hiatus. I wanted to jump on and share a 20 minute circuit training routine that I have created and found to be very effective. I start out by doing a ten minute light cardio routine on my rebounder/mini-trampoline (read more about about why I think rebounding is THE best form of exercise here). Then I jump right into my circuit training routine. I will do upper body Monday, Wednesday, Friday and lower body Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday. As I mentioned in this post, I am doing 90 seconds of cardio before meals and 90 minutes after as part of my 90 Day Sprint Fitness Goals. 

Let’s get into the routine...

Start by doing 10 minutes of cardiovascular training on your rebounder. For a simple routine click here. I like to find three songs that are upbeat to keep me motivated and give me an idea of how much longer I have to jump. 

Upper Body

MWF

Cardio rebounder 10 min

Circuit one

Side plank 30 seconds each side

Plank 30 seconds 

Push up 20 reps 

Circuit two

Tricep extension w 10 lbs weights x 12

Side Shoulder raise w 10 lbs weights x 12

Straight leg sit up x 30 

Circuit three

Bicep curl w 10 lbs weights x 12

Lat rows  w 10 lbs weights x 12

Shoulder press w 10 lbs weights x 12 

Repeat circuits three times 

Lower Body 

T Th Sat

Cardio rebounder 10 min

Circuit one 

Weighted squats x20

Single leg dead lift right x20

Circuit two

Side leg lift x20

front leg lift x20

Circuit three

Glute bridge x20

Single calf raise right x20

I'm planning to keep this routine up for at least thirty days and then I’ll switch it up by adding more weight or changing up the routine.
