Workout Structure

This workout consists of 4 exercises and you should do each exercise for 30 seconds, then move straight onto the next exercise without rest until you have complete all 4 exercises.

Once you have completed the full circuit you can rest of 30 to 60 seconds before repeating the full circuit 3 to 7 times depending on how fit you are and how much time you have.

Exercises

Push-Ups

To perform the push-up start face down on the floor with your hands shoulder width apart. Now contract your chest and push yourself up until your arms are straight. Without rest bend your arms again and lower yourself back to the starting position. Before touching the floor with your chest push yourself back up.

Lunges

To perform the lunge, stand up straight with your feet shoulder width apart and your hands on your hips. Take a big step straight forward in front of you. Bend both knees and lower your body down towards the floor. Don't let the back knee touch the floor. Contract your muscles and push back with your front leg to the starting position. Make sure that when you take the stride forward your front knee does not move past your toes. Once you move back to the starting position, switch legs.

Dumbbell Swing

To perm the dumbbell swing you will need a medium weight dumbbell or kettlebell. Stand with your feet shoulder with apart and toes point slightly outwards. Now move down as if you are doing a normal squat and also lower the dumbbell. Keep your back straight and chin up. Once in the bottom position explode upwards. Straighten your legs and swing the dumbbell upwards to shoulder high. Now lower it back down to the starting position. Make sure you are always in control of the dumbbell and the exercise.

Double Crunch

To perform a double crunch, lie on your back with your hands behind your head and knees bent with your feet on the floor. Curl your upper body by lifting your head and shoulders off the floor towards the legs. At the same time lift your knees up and curl them towards your chest. Return to the start by slowly uncurling.
