Wednesday morning was circuits with Gill again at Bellahouston.  Last week I decided to up the game a little and changed the circuits so that instead of doing 3 x 4 exercises, we’d do 2 x 8 exercises.

And it worked!  It was just that little bit more challenging and by the end of it sweat was dripping off me.  I changed the order of some of the original plan, so here’s what we did:

WARM UP
3 x 7 (30 secs work, 6 secs rest)
Sprints (10m)
Power Squats
Log Jump

High Knees
Butt Kicks
Vertical Jumps

CIRCUIT 1
3 x 8 (30 secs work, 6 secs rest)
Sprints (10m)

CIRCUIT 2
3 x 8 (30 secs work, 6 secs rest)
Sprints (10m)
Jumping Jacks
Hurdle Jumps
Swtich Kicks
Shoulder Press
Sprints with Lunges
Hook & Jump Rope
Moving Push Ups

FINAL SET
Repeated 5 times
8 Squat Thrusts

Here’s the excel version of my circuits, and a jpg of the various exercises you can do for a 50 minute circtuis class.
