Home Bodyweight Circuit

In previous posts i have explained how weight training and high intensity interval training (HIIT)  is going to burn a lot more calories than steady state cardio such as the treadmill. One thing that is a problem is time restriction, in this blog i'm going to give you a bodyweight circuit that can be done at home and will take only 15minutes (1% of your day).  Not only is it going to burn calories while doing it but because it is HIIT it will keep your metabolism running high for hours later.

1. Burpees
2. Lunge Cycle
3. Push-Ups
4. Mountain Climbers
5. Squat Jumps

Beginner: 15/20seconds work; 45/40seconds rest.
Intermediate: 20/25seconds work; 40/35seconds rest
Advanced: 25/30seconds work; 35/30seconds rest

3-5 Rounds. 2 Minutes rest between rounds.

In this circuit you are going to run on time, with each exercise taking a minute including your rest. So for example a beginner will work for 15 seconds and rest 45, starting each exercise on the minute. All of the exercises should be done at high intensity and many have different variations to make easier and harder. Below are some images to help you how each exercise should be performed. Try and add this circuit into your day, i challenge you.
