I am inspired. Saw this video on Bodybuilding.com and while I never thought I’d follow anything they write on that site (I mean come on, it’s Bodybuilding.com… I’m no Arnold, right), I watched this whole video and thought to myself – “Hey, this is doable. I think I can totally kick ass at this.” Then again, that’s my ego talking.
Anyway I’m going to try this out on Wednesday…
Day One: 10 Exercise Full Body Circuit
Superset:
1 ) Burpee Pushups : 1 Set of 10 reps
+ Pullups: 1 set of 10 reps (Let’s be real here, I can’t do a proper pull-up so I’m replacing this with a jump instead. Make sure you extend your arms upwards when jumping. Alternatively, you could do 2 reps on the lateral pull-down machine like in my example video.)
2 ) Alternating Lunge: 1 set of 50 reps, 25 each leg
3 ) Vertical Jumps: 1 set of 10 reps
4 ) Bench Dips: 1 set of 10 reps
5 ) Side by Side Jump Over A Bench: 1 set of 10 reps
6 ) Triangle Pushups: 1 set of 10 reps
7 ) Hanging Leg Raises: 1 set of 10 reps
8 ) Alternating Knee Ups: 20 reps, 10 each leg
9 ) Crossover Running Plank: 1 set of 20 reps, 10 each leg
10 ) Hanging Side Leg Raise: 1 set of 10 reps
Rest for 1 minute in between sets. Repeat all sets 4 times (1 complete circuit = 5 sets total) and this workout is said to take only 45-60mins. We’ll see about that.
hey babe. i havent been working out for a long time but i still went ahead and tried this circuit. well, after 1 circuit set… i was shivering (i still am while typing this….) nevertheless, im aimming to do the full 4 sets the day after (because i believe id be aching tomorrow) hehehe.. great blog, keeps me coming in to check on new entries. 😀
Thanks, B! Good job. I’m about to try it out myself now, will update later!
Hey Fay…oh boy oh boy, I made it to 3 1/2 sets…..my body is still sore till today… I’mm gonna attempt this again and pull thru all the way…. definately should get myself a spotter tho….

Good job, Prakaash! Yes, you definitely need a partner for this workout. Especially for the hanging leg raises so you don’t swing too much. Let me know if you ever make it to all 5 circuit sets!
Good stuff Fay, just tried this circuit and it definitely worked my whole body out. But instead of just one pull up, i did 3 pull ups and 10 standard push ups. I think it worked the body out more rigorously and effective! Thanks for the awesome post again!
Hey FAY! I know this is a bit late, Just wanna say Thank you for sharing!! am gonna try this out, hope it works!
Thanks Fay! Your website really inspire me especially on fitness. Now I have more knowledge on new routines that I can practice on together with my football training. Thanks again! Keep up the awesome work on your website! 😉
I didn’t know you feature this workout plan on your blog. I’ve been doing this for the past 3 weeks. So far so good! How did you do?
