Repeat the circuit for 3-4 rounds. For the finisher, complete all repetitions of each exercise as fast as possible. Finally, finish with the cool-down stretches to aid recovery.
Tips
Focus on proper form over speed and weight, especially as a beginner. Watch videos and use mirrors to ensure correct technique.
Listen to your body. If any exercise causes pain, stop immediately and consult a professional.
Stay hydrated throughout your workout. Drink water before, during, and after your session.
