Circuit Training with Sarah Grace: A Full-Body Workout
Hello and welcome to today's training session with SG Training Zone! I'm your host, Sarah Grace, and I'm excited to take you through a circuit training workout that will get your heart rate up and challenge your entire body. As we all know, circuit training is an effective way to work out, as it involves short, intense movements at different stations, with minimal rest in between. Today, we'll be moving around the gym, completing each exercise for 45 seconds, followed by a brief break before moving on to the next one.
Let's start with the first station: push-ups for the press. This is a classic exercise that targets your core strength and gets you ready to lift those dumbbells! To perform a push-up, roll your feet over, lower your body until your chest almost touches the ground, and then press back up to the starting position. Take note of how hard it engages your abs – we're going for 12-15 reps today. Make sure to keep your core tight and engage those muscles as you lift.
Next up is jump squats! This exercise not only works your legs but also gets that heart rate pumping. Start with a squat, then explosively jump upwards, landing softly on the balls of your feet. Repeat this motion for 45 seconds, making sure to keep your hands down and control your movements. Trust me, you'll feel the burn in no time!
Now, let's move on to side planks. This exercise targets your core strength and will help improve your balance and stability. Start by stacking your feet one on top of the other and resting on your shoulder. Take it down with your hand under here, then bring it back up to the starting position. This is a more advanced version, but feel free to modify it to suit your needs. As you do this exercise, focus on engaging those muscles and trying not to wobble – it's harder than it looks!
Now that we've got our balance back, let's jump laterally! This movement targets your legs and glutes while getting that adrenaline pumping. Simply start in a standing position, then explosively jump over to one side, landing softly on the balls of your feet. Repeat this motion for 45 seconds, moving quickly and smoothly between each side. It might be challenging, but remember, it's all about control and precision.
Finally, we've got alternating lunges with curls! This exercise targets your legs, glutes, and arms while keeping you active throughout the entire circuit. Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart and holding dumbbells in each hand. Perform a lunge, curling those dumbbells up towards your shoulders as you step out with one foot. Quickly switch to the other leg, curling the other dumbbell up as well. Repeat this motion for 45 seconds, making sure to keep your form and control throughout.
And there we have it – our full-body circuit training workout! I hope you enjoyed this session with me, Sarah Grace from SG Training Zone. Remember to listen to your body and take breaks when needed, but don't be afraid to push yourself to the limit. Get in the zone, get moving, and let's crush this workout together!
