I haven’t posted any challenges lately and I figured, since summer is pretty much over, it’s as good a time as any to post one. So here it is:
These are some great exercises – which you can do as high or low impact. Just, please, be sure to take your rest days.
I, personally, love squats and burpees and could do them all day long (I’ve been doing some wonderful squat challenges in my boot camp classes and my girls hate me) so this challenge, to me, looks super fun! So, grab a friend (or do this on your own), blast some music and get your sweat on.
Keep in mind that there are ALWAYS modifications for exercises (ie. Leg lifts can be done one leg at a time as opposed to both legs, pushups can be done from your knees) – just do what’s best for your body; don’t overexert yourself. We always want to prevent injury with everything we do. If you have any questions feel free to comment or inbox me.
Have fun!!

Looking forward to start with your program tomorrow I’ve been out of touch for about 7years now going to start your 30 day challenge before hitting the Gym………..hope the body can handle the pain it’s going to indore in the next week
Hey Sheldon! I’m sure you’ll do great! And I think it’s fantastic that you’re getting back “in touch.” Please feel free to email with any questions. All the best!
Hi there! Are we to do just one set on each day’s exercises? Thank you!!
Hi Christine! The number of sets you do depends on you. If you’re accustomed to working out already – or feel you want more of a challenge – then power on and do as a few sets of each reps. Or, add the challenge into your regular exercise routine.
🙂
Where can I find descriptions of how to do each of the exercises?
Hi Kelly! YouTube is usually the best place to go for visuals. But I’m going to do the leg-work for you:
Squat (keep your chest lifted and neck neutral): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jGQ8_IMPQOY
Push up: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Eh00_rniF8E
Abdominal curls: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxXY0DWg9WU
Leg lifts: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l-mPHKQFMkk (these can be done several ways 1)alternating the legts 2)legs together (like in the video) 3)one knee bent with foot planted on ground for stability for begginers, etc.
Crunch (use your core, NOT your neck): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MKmrqcoCZ-M
Russian twist (you can modify these similarly to the leg lifts above): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wkD8rjkodUI
Jumping Jacks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4DAnQ6DtF8
Burpees: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pf7wZvraWV0
Mountain Climbers: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=De3Gl-nC7IQ alternately, you can also do a standing version of the mountain climber: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5JeA4b7nQk
Hope this helps you, Kelly! 🙂
WOW just what I was looking for. Came here by searching for circuit
training routines
Does this challenge really help with losing weight?
Hi Kat! Results will always vary, depending on the individual. But, anytime you challenge yourself and push yourself with a workout, and eat a balanced and nutritional diet, you should certainly be able to see results.
I want to challenge myself! On the curls, are u referring to those with weights or something else? On leg lifts, is this on a machine for quads or are u referring to lying flat and letting straight legs for abs?
Hey Cam! The curls are referring to using weights (or a substitute for weights). The leg lifts are meant to do flatback and engaging your core, but I say if you want to incorporate a leg machine as well/instead of, go for it!
Hello! Are the curls referring to bicep curls, abdominal curls, or hamstring curls?? Could you please clarify? Thanks!
Hi Courtney. The curls are referring to using weights (or a substitute for weights). But if you want to do a bodyweight exercise instead, definitely do what makes you comfortable. 🙂
