Fat Loss Circuit

Circuit training is a great way to increase exercise intensity and training density. When used correctly, a circuit can help increase muscle strength and blast away stored fat. Here is a sample, full body workout, that will help in body re-composition.

Perform each movement one after the other until the reverse crunch is finished. Rest 60-90 seconds, and then perform the circuit again. Circuit should be completed 3-5 times.

Push Up (regular or modified) x 15 reps
Plyometric Lunge x 16 (8 each leg)
Chair Dips x 15 reps
Jump Squats x 15 reps
Reverse Crunch x 15 reps

That is a total of 76 reps in a short amount of time. Talk about a great fat loss buster!

Beach season is approaching!! Time to flatten that stomach, not just for looks, but also for injury prevention. The core musculatures function is to RESIST rotation, flexion, and extension. Therefore, we need to train it that way! Here is a sample circuit you can try, it targets the midsection the "correct" way"

Plank (for as long as you can hold correct posture)

directly into

Right Side Plank (for as long you can hold correct posture)

directly into

Plank (for as long as you can hold correct posture)

Left Side Plank (for as long as you can hold correct posture)

Rest 2-3 minutes between circuits. Shoot to complete the full circuit 3-4 times! Good luck in your quest for a strong, beach ready core!
