No Gym Workout

Posted Aug 24 2008 2:56pm

Otherwise known as the The Power Circuit



Returning to Monday's theme of boosting the intensity of your workout , here's a mini circuit that will really shake up your weight loss regime. The key here is to do these exercises one after the other almost as though you were going against the clock.



The power circuit is:



Skipping x 50

Squat jumps x 5

Squat jumps with a tuck x 5



Run through the circuit 4 times and see how you feel. You'll be tired but you'll now know that you're capable of some really tough exercise. Use this as a guide for all future workouts. For the fastest results, you should always work this hard. It's the difference between losing weight and toning up slowly, and doing it fast.
