Active Rest Circuit

Return to the Article

This is only one of many examples. Use your imagination and make a workout to suit your needs.

    • The weights are moderate and the intensity is very low.
    • You should perform 20 to 30 repetitions per exercise and the only rest between sets is the amount of time it takes you to get to the next exercise.
    • Go through the circuit once or twice, so that you work about 20 minutes.

      1. 30 bicycle crunches
      2. 20 supermans (or sky divers)—hold each for 1 sec
      3. 25 jumping jacks
      4. 20 stiff leg deadlifts with dumbells (for your hamstrings)
      5. 20 seated alternating overhead dumbell presses
      6. 20 body-weight squats or box squats
      7. 20 push ups
      8. 25 reverse grip lat pulldowns
      9. 20 lunge walks (10 for each leg)
      10. 20 tricep pushdowns
