Rock That Body Circuit (realtime video!)
Almost that time of year when school is out (a little over a month to go!!), and you may be traveling OR want to do some fun workouts outdoors. I designed this so you can do both! You only need a set of dumbbells, but body weight will also work. If you are traveling, you can use water bottles, or get a resistance band that will pack nicely.
Go all out for the 30 seconds of aerobic work and focus on form and core stability for the 2nd anaerobic move. I love using heavy weights and after I designed this, I used 15 pound dumbbells and completed it 3x thru and was TOAST when I was done! REST after you complete one set and then repeat it again. Give it all you got! IF you are working with dumbbells, maybe have a couple different options in terms of weight, so you can use heavier and/or lighter depending on how you feel.
I created the youtube video to show the movements in case you are unfamiliar with them.
AFTER you complete 1-3 rounds, try the BURNOUT at the bottom!
