20 Minute Full Body Circuit

I’ve got a quick little number for you today. But don’t let its brevity fool you, this will definitely give you a nice little burn! If you’re not yet able to do these movements, we can modify them to suit your current needs!

I’ve said it at least 20 times on different blogs, but strength training is SO IMPORTANT for women!! I love this workout because it gives the best of both worlds—strength and cardio training. If you do this workout in under 20 minutes, you’ll definitely be breathing hard. If you go a little slower and take your time, you won’t get as many of the cardio benefits (which isn’t bad either). Watch the video of the full workout! Modifications below.

5 rounds of:

  • 5 pullups

  • 10 KB swings

  • 5 dips

  • 10 SL box squats w/ KB (5 each leg)

MODIFICATIONS:

  • If you don’t have anywhere to do pull ups, here’s an inexpensive pull up bar that I use at home! I would also recommend getting a resistance band to assist you if you’re just starting out. Here are 7 alternatives to pull ups.

  • For dips, you can easily use a chair, fireplace, stairs, etc.

  • If a single leg box (chair) squat isn’t a safe movement for you, do regular box squats or air squats.

  • As for kettlebell swings just make sure the weight is super low to start and you have proper form. If you have a resistance band, you could also do good mornings instead!

I hope you love this quick little circuit! Let me know how you feel day 2, I know I’m still feeling it!
