At Home Full Body Circuit Workout

This at home full body circuit workout is a quick, 20-minute circuit that you can do with very little equipment in your own home. Sneak this in when you get home from work or when the kids are down for a nap. I promise, you will feel better if you fit exercise into your day!

This circuit works the best with a set of stairs, but if you don’t have access to stairs you can jog in place or do step-ups on a curb or stable bench. You will also need two sets of dumbbells (one lighter set 3-5 lbs and one heavier set 8-15 lbs) or you can do all of these exercises with resistance bands.

Remember, to get the most out of a quick circuit workout, you should be moving right from one exercise to the next with no rest in between. You can rest at the end!

2 minute warm-up jogging up and down stairs
15 bicep curls (dumbbells) (resistance band)
15 forward lunges (15 each leg, switching legs each rep)
15 tricep dips
45 seconds plank (beginners can start on knees)
