Body Weight Circuit

July 13, 2010 by Joe Gigantino  

This week, we are featuring an Advanced Body Weight Circuit Workout routine by Arizona’s Top Fat Loss Trainer, Dr. Brad Campbell. Using your body weight properly can bring intensity to your workout routine and help build strength and endurance, boost your metabolism and tone your muscles!

- Complete each exercise for 20 seconds
- Use full range of motion and focus on being explosive
- After completing one exercise, transition IMMEDIATELY to the next exercise without resting

Advanced Body Weight Workout Routine:
- One circuit is as follows;
- Ski Jumps
- Spiderman Push-ups
- Hip Thrusts (to the side)
- Bench Dips (1 foot elevated)
- Split Squat Jumps (or jumping lunges)
- Alligator push-ups

- After completing entire circuit, rest 1-3 minutes (depending on fitness level)
- Repeat 1 to 4 times for a quick and effective metabolism-boosting workout that can be done anywhere
- Use this body weight workout no more than twice weekly and focus on decreasing rest time and/or increasing sets as the weeks progress
