"Short on Time? Supercharge Your Workout with this Quick and Intense Circuit!"
One of my favorite things to do when I’m short on time is circuits. I also like to add these into my training plans to mix up my workouts, spice things up when I’m bored, and provide some functional strength training.
You can basically make them as easy or hard as you want based on three things.
Rest between rounds
Weight used and speed (intensity)
Volume, (number of reps and rounds completed).
BTW, these three things form the basis of every workout. If you want to make your sprint session harder reduce the rest, increase the speed, and add more reps. Pretty simple right? The only other thing in the mix is frequency. How often do you complete your workouts?
I’ve recently started training for a Hyrox event in August, I’ll write more about this next week, but basically, all my gym workouts are some form of circuit at the moment.
Try the circuit below.
5 - 10 rounds, depending on your conditioning and how much time you have.
Beware, skater hops and Romanian deadlifts will smoke your adductors and hamstrings and leave them screaming the next day if you haven’t done them for a while.
Skater Hops 6 on each side
Mountain Climbers x 20
Hay Baler - 5 on each side (Video above)
Push Ups x 15
Romanian Deadlifts x 10
Happy training
