A cheeky, favourite circuit of mine. And I think enjoyed by many of our members too (maybe not all). Does 100 reps sound hard? Let’s call it “challenging”. And you can make it as easy or as challenging as you like really. The circuit will take you 40-60 minutes to build up to 100 reps, depending on which exercises you choose. It’s a great all over body conditioning, cardio session. It can also be done with no equipment.
The Workout
Ideally you would work in a pair or small group. One performs exercises whilst the other does shuttle runs then you swap. It would look like this:
- Person A does 10 reps of exercise 1 Person B runs.
- Partner B does 10 reps of exercise 1 Person A runs.
- Person A does 10 reps of exercise 1, plus 10 reps of exercise 2. Person B runs.
- Partner A does 10 reps of exercise 1, plus 10 reps of exercise 2. Person A runs.
- Keep adding and swapping like that until you have completed 100 reps (10×10).
This was how the last 100 reps circuit looked:
- Burpees
- Crunches
- Press ups
- Lunges
- Plank shoulder taps
- Tricep dips
- Leg raises
- Back extensions
- Hand walkouts
- Ninjas (2 broad jumps run backwards).
Once again you can pick any exercises you fancy. If you are feeling brave and there is the availability, you can also add weights to your circuit.
You can also still do this circuit if you are by yourself; either do a set number each shuttle each time or maybe try 10 shuttles working down to one as the other reps go up.
