Workout of the month: A cardio-bodyweight circuit to start your EVOlution
Moderate-hard workout / cardio-bodyweight / timed circuit
Ready to try something new? This month, EVO brings you a cardio-bodyweight metabolic conditioning workout. If you’re onto testing your strength and endurance, this is the perfect workout for you. It consists of a simple circuit of 6 exercises performed once and timed.
After you start the stopwatch, your goal is to complete the circuit of 6 exercises as fast as possible. When you feel capable of pushing it even further, aim for a whole performance, meaning you should perform continuous repetitions with no pause in between. If you think you’re not just there yet, break up your sets into manageable reps – e.g. sets of 5 or 10 for each exercise.
This workout focuses on the basic skills of pushing, pulling and squatting, interspersed with cardio exercises. This will make you feel tired quickly, so take rest when needed, but make sure you’re not losing momentum.
