You guys ready to get sweaty?
Well I sure hope so, because I’ve got a pretty killer circuit workout for you all today!
This particular workout is very similar to one that I enjoyed giving to a few of my training clients. It combines a whole mix of stuff, including plenty of core stability exercises, which are some of the most important of all.
The only equipment you’ll need is a set of dumbbells, which will only be used for the first exercise; other than that, you’re just using your bodyweight. I hope you guys have fun with this one!
Oh, and always, here’s some photos to demonstrate each of the exercises. ![]()
Squat w/ Dumbbell Press Elbow Plank

Wall Sit Side Plank with Leg Raise

Alternating Lunges Swimmers

Squat with Front Kick Flutter Kicks

Squat Thrusts Lateral Hops

This looks like a good one! I love any type of workouts I can easily do at home, since that’s where most of my workouts occur!

I love that it incorporates a lot of full-body movements, some plyo, some strength… sounds like a perfect workout to do at home!

I like the challege in this, but also how quick it seems! (yay, Tabata-style!) I am curious to how this affects your pregnancy, especially the Squat Thrusts. Are some exercises more difficult than others?

Awesome workout and seems like fun, sweaty, and quick (all good things in my book).

Good one! Squat Thrusts (or even Burpees) make everything better….or worse. Depends on how you look at it! haha
My fitness participants temporarily hated me whenever they heard either one of those words.

Looks like a great workout! I love that you always include pictures too…sometimes I think I remember what a move is called, and once I scroll down and see the picture I can confirm it. Super helpful!

Your Swimmers excercise image did not display. Can I assume that another name for that excercise is Superman? Thanks!
Yes, pretty much! Same position, just doing the motion that you’re swimming by kicking legs and arms overhead
Thanks for the clarification, greatly appreciate it. Can’t wait to try this circuit this weekend!!
Great workouts … but you can’t fool me … those squat thrusts are burpees in disguise … my nemesis in exercise workouts
Thanks for sharing this and I can’t wait to give it a try after work today!!
When I saw it I was like :O isn’t she suppose to not do high intensity when pregnant haha! But then I read it was for your clients
Looks like a killer!
