Ever been strapped for time with little or no equipment at your disposal? Look no further! The following circuit utilizes a number of combination moves to get your entire body working. And since you'll be moving your body-weight, this entire workout can be performed with nothing more than 5 to 10 pound dumbbells (or 2 books).
Here's How:
> Complete the following five exercises one after the other with minimal rest in-between.
> After the 5th exercise, rest for 2 minutes. Then, repeat 2 or 3 times (whatever time permits).
Lunge with Press: Stand, holding a 5 - 10 pound dumbbell in each hand, elbows bent, hands by shoulders. Lunge forward with left foot, keeping the left knee behind your toes. Then, press weights overhead. Lower weights, return to start. Do 24 steps alternating sides (12 reps for each leg).
Tricep Dips: Sit on a step, bench or sturdy chair with knees slightly bent, feet on floor. Place hands next to hips on the step, bench or chair. Slide butt off edge, bend elbows, and lower hips. Straighten elbows to push body back up. Do 12 reps.
Jump Lunges: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Lunge forward with left foot, keeping left knee behind toes. Jump up and switch legs so that right foot is in front. Do 20 reps (10 reps for each leg).
Push-up with Leg Raise: Start in full push-up position (legs extended, hands under shoulders, abs engaged). As you bend elbows, lift right leg as high as you can. Push back up and lower leg. Do 12 reps, alternating legs with each push-up.
Squat Thrust: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart. Squat and place hands on floor by feet. With hands still on floor, jump and push feet back into plank position. Hold for 1 count, then jump back towards hands. Then jump up. Do 12 reps.
