Ready to crush this circuit? Let’s get started!
1. Pushups
This classic exercise works your chest, shoulders, and triceps while engaging your core for stability. It’s a staple for any full-body routine.
Start in a high plank position with your hands under your shoulders. Lower your chest toward the ground, keeping your body straight, then push back up to the starting position. Repeat for 12 reps.
2. Dumbbell Squat to Press
This move combines a lower-body squat with an upper-body press, making it a powerhouse for full-body strength and calorie burning.
Hold a dumbbell in each hand at shoulder height and lower into a squat. Push through your heels to stand while pressing the dumbbells overhead. Perform 10 reps.
3. Burpees
Burpees are the ultimate fat-burning exercise, engaging your entire body while spiking your heart rate. Start in a standing position, drop into a squat, jump your feet back into a plank position, then quickly return to the squat and explode upward into a jump. Repeat for 8 reps.
