Workout Details

The workout consists of 3 circuits. Two will hit the lower body including the hamstrings, quads and glutes and one will target the core, hitting the back, obliques and abs. You’ll complete 3 rounds of each circuit. Try to move through the exercises as quickly as possibly with little to no rest and then take about 60 seconds rest before repeating. Rest as needed between each circuit.
