We’re going to kick off your new year with an EVO-style lo-tech, hi-effect bodyweight workout, designed to challenge strength, power, endurance, flexibility, coordination and balance. It’s a circuit-style workout consisting of 8 exercises performed back to back – but don’t be fooled by its simplicity! On completion, you will feel have worked your entire body in a very short space of time.
SET UP
You will need a timer or stopwatch. If you’re using an interval timer, set the intervals to 20 seconds on, 10 seconds off – this interval set is known as the Tabata protocol, and is a popular choice for short duration, high intensity training. This means you will be performing each exercise as fast as possible for 20 seconds, then taking 10 seconds rest before moving on to the next exercise. Repeat until all 8 exercises are complete – a total of 4 minutes. Take 60 seconds rest, and repeat the circuit.
EXERCISES
Perform each of the following exercises as fast as possible (with control) for 20 seconds, taking 10 seconds rest between each exercise. Choose one of the following levels that suits your ability and current fitness:
