    1. Squats
    2. Push up (full position or kneeling)

    SCALING

    There is no scaling for this workout – it can be performed by all levels. However, if you are new to circuit training and endurance workout, think about your pace during each exercise and take rest if you need it. If you are strong in these movements, aim to go unbroken for the entire 60 seconds. If you are new to this type of intensity, think about breaking down each exercise into mini sets, eg. sets of 5 or 10 – taking a quick rest in between each.

    A final bit of advice – pace is important, but technique is better. Good technique at an optimal pace is more sustainable than poor technique at a fast pace. Two minutes will start to feel like an eternity if you push too fast. Of course, feel free to push yourself on the exercises you are strong at, but hold back on weaker exercises – and instead focus on good technique. Don’t forget that the 30 sec rest periods will be necessary to allow your heart rate to recover before the next exercise.

    As your fitness improves, you will be able to push yourself further each time you perform the workout. Be sure to count the total number of reps at the end.
