Quick Circuit Workout

Anytime Fitness Farragut


Creating a circuit training routine may be a challenge! It's not always easy to know what exercise will push your muscles and the exact fitness training that is quick but efficient.

Below is a guideline on how to create a work out training routine that works!

As well, don't forget the Personal Trainers at Anytime Fitness Farragut Gym are here for you to help custom tailor and maintain a training workout routine that fits YOU!

Below is a great circuit workout for those limited on time. Do each number below in sets of 3 then repeat 3x the entire circuit.

1. Goblet Set. Grab a dumbell that is 5-10 pounds, depending on your fitness level, and hold with both hands the dumbell up to the bottom of your chin, keep your arms close to your body, and squat down for 15 reps.

2. Push Up. Position your hands shoulder width apart with palms on the floor and feet and legs pushing off the floor for a full body push up. Beginners may cross legs and put knees on the floor during push up. Bonus Tummy Trainer! For a tummy and core tightener, hold your body up on your elbows and your toes, keeping your body off the ground as a straight flank with nothing touching the ground for 45 seconds each rep.

3. Recovery. Be sure in between each set to do a 90 second recovery before moving to the next one.

4. Inverted Rows. Use a weight bar with an overhand grip. Stand under the bar with your arms straight. Create a straight line with your body from your ankles to your head. Pull your shoulder blades back, pull with your arms as your chest gets lifted to the bar. Then lower your body back to starting position.

5. Romanian Deadlifts. With dumbells spread your feet hip width apart. Keep knees slightly bent. Keep the weight in front of your thighs and your palms should face upward. Shift hips back and lower the dumbells as you keep your back flat. Hold the weights in front of thighs with palms facing in. Shift hips back and take 2 seconds to lower the dumbbells while keeping back flat.

6. Jumping Jacks. Do 2 minutes straight with no stops of hard core jumping jacks. This is good to get the heart rate up!

Try this short but sweetly effective circuit next time your in the gym!
