1 ) Modified Push-up
3 sets of 8
A modified version of the regular push-up. This one still forces you to use your core muscles.

3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This exercise helps you build strength in your quads and develop your form to prepare you for performing a full squat.
3 ) Jumping Jacks
3 sets of 1
1 minutes
This is an excellent form of cardio that you can perform anywhere.


Circuit 2
1 ) Dumbbell Chest Fly
3 sets of 10
Grab some dumbbells and perk up your pecs!
2 ) Squats
3 sets of 1
1 minutes

3 ) Jumping Jacks
3 sets of 1
