The darker mornings and darker nights often mean it’s harder to motivate yourself to get those workouts in but here is a super speedy pulse raising, fat burning circuit workout for you to try and keep you motivated instead of going into hibernation.

I love circuit training, it’s a great way of:

  • Improving your fitness
  • Decreasing your body fat and inches
  • Increasing your energy levels
  • Toning and strengthening the muscles
  • Having fun!

All in one workout!

The idea with this circuit workout is that you can perform the circuit as many times as you have possible – so keep going for as long as you have time for!

You should perform each exercise for 40 seconds, with a 20 second break in between each exercise (if you need it, if you don’t then crack on to the next exercise)

Remember to start your workout with a good warm up and finish with a cool down. Here are the exercises you need for your circuit workout.

A. Kettlebell Clean and Press (you can do this with a dumbbell if you don’t have a kettlebell). Make sure you do 40seconds on one side, then 40 seconds on the other side.

B. Press Ups

C. 2 x Burpees, 2 x Star Jumps (surely not as bad as all burpees!)

D. Plank – make it harder and lift one foot from the ground, but keep good form!

E. Renegade Rows – alternate from arm to arm on these

F. Kettlebell Swings

G. Goblet Squats – Hold a DB at chest level, feet shoulder width apart, squat as low as you can!

Repeat as many times as you have time for 10 minutes, 20 minutes, 30 minutes…..go for it!
