Any regular gym goer has at one point performed a circuit workout<\/strong>. These training sessions are usually short but intense<\/strong>, requiring you to complete each exercise set before moving on to the next one<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since there is limited to no rest between the sets<\/strong>, this means your heart rate will go up. And that will happen while combining a mix of endurance and strength exercises<\/strong>. What’s not to love about it? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today’s session checks all the above boxes. It’s a functional circuit workout<\/strong> designed by Jakob Ritter, a personal trainer from Vienna and our dear friend<\/strong>. You’ll be performing 5 exercises, 3 sets each<\/strong> \u2014 you’ll have to complete each of the latter before moving to the next exercise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. Bend over push-up – 12 reps<\/li>
  2. Plank to triceps extension – 10 reps<\/li>
  3. Bridge to leg raise – 12 reps each side<\/li>
