All week over on Instagram, we've been giving you two workouts a day to try out for yourselves, so here's the full circuit to test your fitness.
Whether you hit the gym every day or you find yourself struggling to make it once a week, a lot of us face the same problem: time. We need to maximise the small window of time that we have while still getting the most out of your workout. For that reason, circuit training is the perfect compromise; it pushes you to your limits but you can also get in and out of the gym in under half an hour, so you don't have any excuses.
This week over on our Instagram account, we've been giving you two different exercises every day to add to a circuit that you can get done in just five minutes with thanks to Anthony Lynch and the guys at Raw Gyms Dublin.
They put together this testing circuit that comprises eight different moves. All you need to do is put them together for 30 seconds each, making sure you keep a record of how many reps you get through, except for the planks where you should aim to keep your form solid for the full 30 seconds. Try and stick to that number of reps on each round of the circuit, and use it as a target to keep pushing yourself each time. As Anthony points out, you can do as many rounds as you think you're able to.
If you're unsure of the form for each exercise, make sure to look at the videos on our Instagram, and always ask the trainer at your gym for help, they'll be more than happy to give you a hand. For now, here's Anthony running through all the exercises and showing you how to transition from one to the next, aiming to take no breaks in between.
Give us a follow on Instagram too, as we'll have another circuit next week and even more exercises and fitness tips over the coming weeks.
