I love a good old circuit. There are so many fitness trends around, but circuit training has been around for years and isn’t going anywhere! The reason being is that if you work hard enough it gets results, circuit training burns fat, improves your fitness and if used right can achieve strength/physique goals.

Here is a pyramid circuit for you. I like pyramid circuits as you know that each time you do the circuit you have less reps to perform so it’s nice and motivating!

This warm up should be performed in the gym, all you need is a pair of dumbbells, a kettlebell and a bag full of enthusiasm!

Remember to warm up and cool down properly.

Main Workout – Perform all exercises as a circuit x 20, then x 15, then x 12 , then if you really want to go for it x 10!

A. Power Lunges

B. Alternating Lunge & Shoulder Press

C. Press Ups

D. KB Swings (if you don’t have a KB replace with burpees)

E. Walking Lunges

F. Bent Over Rows

G. Jump Squats

H. KB Squat (hold KB at chest level, if you don’t have a KB hold a DB at chest level)

I. DB Tricep Overhead Extension

J. KB Swings (if you don’t have a KB replace with mountain climbers)

K. Ab Crunch

L. DB Bicep Curls

We hope you enjoy this pyramid circuit training session! It is perfect to try in the gym as a change from your normal plan or if you are travelling with work/on holiday and only have limited equipment to use in a hotel gym.

Enjoy!
