The workout I’ve designed for you this week is a complete full body circuit. It incorporates cardio as well as strength for the upper and lower body. A whole workout for your heart and lungs as well as fat loss. It has been tried and tested in my evening circuit classes.  It can also be done at home if you have access to some dumbbells, otherwise may need to be adapted.

  • Star jumps
  • Burpees
  • Squat jumps
  • Lunge to knee drive (10 each leg)
