DUMBBELLS

FIT NOTE: for squats and lunges, aim to keep your knees in line with your feet to prevent unnecessary strain on your knees

TARGET UPPER AND LOWER BODY

HOT METAL

Performed with a light set of dumbbells, this session is a great heart-pumper for newcomers to circuit training. With a heavier set, this becomes a lung-busting, muscle-blasting workout for even seasoned gym-goers.

The circuit combines upper-and lower-body moves simultaneously, which requires your heart to work hard, supplying blood to many different muscles. You’ll feel fitter, stronger and more coordinated – not bad for 12 minutes.

HOW TO DO IT

Perform each exercise in order, taking no rest between exercises.

Once you’ve completed 1 full circuit, rest for one minute before starting again.

Do 3 circuits in total.

DO THIS

3 circuits.
