FUNCTIONAL CIRCUIT WORKOUT

ALL LEVELS / circuit workout / 20 minutes

Equipment: Exercise mat

Any regular gym goer has at one point performed a circuit workout. These training sessions are usually short but intense, requiring you to complete each exercise set before moving on to the next one.

Since there is limited to no rest between the sets, this means your heart rate will go up. And that will happen while combining a mix of endurance and strength exercises. What’s not to love about it? 

Today’s session checks all the above boxes. It’s a functional circuit workout designed by Jakob Ritter, a personal trainer from Vienna and our dear friend. You’ll be performing 5 exercises, 3 sets each — you’ll have to complete each of the latter before moving to the next exercise.

  1. Bend over push-up – 12 reps
  2. Plank to triceps extension – 10 reps
  3. Bridge to leg raise – 12 reps each side
  4. Diagonal superman – 12 reps each side
  5. Squat to lunge – 8 reps

Ready? Let start the circuit!
