Heya fitties! Sometimes, a workout is the very last thing you want to be doing, especially on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I get it… this bodyweight circuit is perfect for those occasions when you really don’t feel like hitting a sweat or even getting your butt off the couch! Keep in mind that setting aside as little as 10 minutes to get your body in motion can be greatly beneficial & even get you pumped & motivated to keep going even when once you’re done with this circuit, in this case, why not squeeze in an extra circuit?
WARNING: don’t get fooled by the name of this workout, if you push yourself and give your 100%, you can actually make this circuit quite challenging (higher and faster jumps, added weights, putting extra emphasis on performing with full range of motion engaging the muscles to their max., etc.). Also, keep in mind that you can repeat this set for a total of 2,3 even 4 times for a complete full bodyweight workout! READY?
