10-minute full-body circuit: quick & effective

Now that you’re warmed up, it’s time to get your heart rate up and work those muscles. This full-body circuit will target all major muscle groups, leaving you feeling toned and energised. Complete the exercises below in a circuit format, doing each for 45 seconds with 15 seconds rest in between.

  1. Squats (Bodyweight or Jumping Squats)
    Strengthen your quads, glutes, and hamstrings. Make it more intense by jumping into each squat for an added challenge.
  2. Push-Ups
    Tone your arms, chest, and core with these classic bodyweight moves. Modify by dropping to your knees if needed.
  3. Plank to Push-Up
    Engage your core and arms. Start in a plank position, then push up onto your hands one arm at a time, alternating between the plank and push-up positions.
  4. Burpees
    A heart-pumping exercise that works your entire body. From standing, squat down, jump your feet back into a plank, do a push-up, and jump back up.
  5. Mountain Climbers
    A full-body move that gets your heart rate up while targeting your core, shoulders, and legs. Start in a plank position and alternate bringing your knees toward your chest rapidly.
