I know how many of you are super busy and sometimes need to get a good workout in, in a short amount of time!! Especially with the holidays around the corner, don’t you worry!! You can still get in an awesome workout in a short amount of time!! you may have noticed, I am posting weekly circuit training workouts. These are great to incorporate into your current program, use them in case of an emergency and you either are on the go traveling, didn’t have time to make it to the gym, or want to double up your workout and get in another quick workout!
Remember, less is more and something is better than nothing!! You can get the best of both worlds and get in yoru cardio and resistant training in a short amount of time by performing a circuit style workout, as I display in the videos!
