Hi everyone - I hope that you are all enjoying your weekend! I wanted to post one of my favorite circuits. It only takes about 20 minutes but it is extremely effective and FUN! You do three rounds of the following exercises in a circuit fashion (so go through all 8 exercises and repeat 3 times):

1.) 100 jumps with a jump rope
2.) 10 Hanging leg raises
3.) 100 jumps with jump rope
4.) 10 feet elevated push ups
5.) 100 jumps with a jump rope
6.) 5 pull ups
7.) 100 jumps with a jump rope
8.) 20 jump squats (squat low and touch the ground each time)

If you aren't currently jumping rope, you might want to consider it. 10 minutes of jumping rope is equivalent to 30 minutes of running! Who doesn't want to achieve great results in less time?? ;)

Also, for those of you that are stronger than me, it is obviously very easy to modify by adding more reps for each of the exercises. Just time yourself and try to beat your PR each time.

If any of you try it out, I would love to hear how you liked it! Have a great day!
