TOTAL LENGTH: 4 minutes
INTENSITY LEVEL: High
EQUIPMENT NEEDED: None
Skill level
BEGINNER = Complete the following video workout 4 times and rest after each for 2 minutes and 15 seconds.
INTERMEDIATE = Complete the following video workout 5 times and rest after each for 1 minute and 30 seconds.
ADVANCED = Complete the following video workout 5 times and rest after each for 45 seconds.
To begin, find a comfortable spot in an open space. Perform each of the following exercises for twenty seconds of high intensity followed by 10 seconds of rest, then transition to the next exercise.
Complete the exercises in a round format. This means that since there are 4 forearm exercises in the circuit, you’ll finish all 4 then go back to the first exercise and repeat in the same order following the 20:10 interval.
Two rounds of the 4 exercises will be considered 1 full circuit set. If you do need a break, take one! Each time you do this circuit, try to do more reps and/or take fewer breaks.
