A Great Strength Circuit

harder than it looks!

harder than it looks!

I have committed to being more diligent about my strength training and am always actively searching for new ways to strength train. I found this workout on Pinterest and decided to try it out with two girlfriends this week. Wow. It was tough and I think they hated me for making us do it! That being said, I felt like we got a great full body workout and was definitely dripping sweat by the end of the first round.

If you want a relatively simple but effective workout, I’d recommend trying this out. You don’t need any equipment — in fact, we did this at my friend’s apartment building’s outside area, right next to the pool (sadly, it’s not yet open – that would’ve been sweet relief). With a 90 second break in between circuits (we only did 2) and a couple of water breaks, the whole thing took about 20 minutes. I’ll be honest, my abs and thighs were sore the next day couple of days- but it was the good kind of sore. I knew I’d gotten in a great workout, so I felt proud of my soreness.

What’s your go-to fitness circuit?
