It’s hotter than ever to do your workouts at home. You don’t have eyes watching you or distractions and music blaring like in a gym. The occurrence of Covid-19 has changed aspects of our living but one thing that doesn’t have to change is your ability to go hard and achieve targets when it comes to your fitness training. I’ve written this circuit training session for the men that like to push their limits and recognise their need for growth and a maintained health/body.
To get the most out of this workout circuit you’ll need:
- Pull Up bar
- Resistance band
- Dumbbells
Always begin your sessions with stretching and mobility work to prepare your muscles for the work you’ll do and to reduce your chances of injury. On to the session…
Circuit 1:
Push-Ups – 10 reps
Chin Ups – 10 reps (assisted with resistance band if needed)
Squats – 10 reps
Jumping Jacks – 2 minute
Planks – 1 minute
2-minute rest
Circuit 2:
Push-Ups – 10 reps
Dumbbell Curls – 10 reps
Forward Lunges – 10 reps (each leg)
Jog on the spot – 2 minutes
Planks – 1 minute
2-minute rest
Circuit 3:
Push-Ups – 10 reps
Dumbbell Shoulder Press – 10 reps
Static Squats – 30 seconds (3 reps)
Jumping Jacks – 2 minutes
Planks – 1 minute
2-minute rest
Cycle through the circuits twice or three times. If it becomes too easy for you, increase the reps, exercise duration or reduce your rest periods. This circuit, if done for 3 weeks or more will hopefully yield some noticeable changes in your body, physique, strength and cardio output. Using it with rest days in-between sessions is ideal.
As you can see the circuits are broken down as UB, UB, LB, CV, CORE*
Circuit training is a great way to introduce regular exercise into your time schedule and it can all be done at home. If this exercise routine was beneficial to you then share it with family and friends and hit comment.
