Hump Day Workout




It's the middle of the week... feeling kinda sluggish?  Let's rev up your day with a circuit training workout.  You will be in and out of the gym in about 45 minutes and you will feel great!  This fat-torching workout keeps your intensity high and your time in the gym to a minimum!  Let's get started...




5 minute cardio warm-up with dynamic stretching

Circuit 1
1.  Speedskaters or lateral hops
2.  Explosive pull-ups or lat pull-downs
3.  Squat and DB overhead press
4.  Mountain climbers with hands on bosu ball

Do each exercise for 45 seconds - 3 times through (1 - 2 minutes rest between rounds)

Circuit 2
1.  Lunge jumps
2.  Push-ups (use knees if necessary)
3.  DB bent over rows
4.  Glute-hamstring ball roll-ins

Do each exercise for 45 seconds - 3 times through (1 - 2 minutes rest between rounds)

5 minute walking cool-down with light stretching as needed

Reminder:  Intensity Level - Intermediate (If you are new to working out, let me know and I can give you alternate moves for some of the exercises or do 30 seconds at each station instead of 45!)

That's it!  Easy and Quick... but since it's so short, be sure to give it all you've got! 
Good Luck!
