Workout of The Day: Make Your Circuit

What a great day to workout! No seriously! It's already Thursday!! It is another short week and another long weekend! Take time today to get in some exercise, especially because today's workout can be done anywhere! All I want for you to do is pick your 8 favorite exercises (with what you have) and make an exercise circuit.

The goal is to perform 1 minute of all of these exercises back to back.

1. Squats
2. Jumping jacks
3. Pushups ( or knee pushups)
4. Step ups ( on a bench a box jump or a picnic bench)
5. Planks (on forearms or straight arms)
6. Tricep dips (on bench or chair)
7. Walking lunges
8. Mountain climbers

Repeat 2 more times (3 sets total)

This is designed as a full body workout, keeping your heart rate elevated! This shouldn't be easy! If you don't have the desire to try some of these exercises you can swap them with ones you do like ie. Swap jumping Jacks with jumping rope.

Bring a stopwatch and make sure you don't cheat:) Take water breaks when needed.
