Circuits Are Amazing!

Despite having only time for 4 minimal workouts this week--I made them count. All cardio sessions were interval variations and all strength workouts were circuits. As I mention in my audio post, I use Mens Health's 15 minute workouts -- they have them on their website. One of the ones I used this week used only 1 dumbbell and 4 exercises -- go through the circuit 3-4 times with a 2 minute rest. The exercises are below:

  • Dumbbell Swing
  • Squat and Press
  • Row and Twist
  • Corkscrew

You can find videos and instructions at www.menshealth.com/15workout

During the 2 minute rest period after each circuit, I did 2 stretches (one upper body, one lower body) and was able to complete 2 circuits and stretches in 15 minutes!
