CIRCUIT 1 Aug 20th 2012, 15:31 1. Squat to Shoulder Press and Triceps Extension Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a pair of dumbbells at your shoulders. Bend your knees to lower into a squat until your thighs are parallel to the floor (a). Push through your heels to stand, pressing the weights directly overhead (b), then bend your elbows to lower the weights behind you toward your shoulder blades, keeping your elbows as close to the side of your head as possible (c). Reverse the movement and lower the weights back to start. That's one rep. Do 12 to 15. 2. Burpee Stand with your feet slightly more than hip-width apart, then bend your knees and place your hands on the floor; jump your feet back, keeping your hands directly under your shoulders. Lower your chest toward the floor, elbows close to your body, then press back up. Quickly hop your feet between your hands, then press through your heels to jump off the floor. That's one rep. Do as many as you can in one minute. (To make this series easier, support your weight with your knees during the pushup or just skip the pushup.) 3. Plank with Arm Reach Get into a plank position, elbows under your shoulders and your body forming a straight line from shoulders to heels. Brace your core and slowly raise one arm off the floor to shoulder height; pause for two seconds, then lower and switch arms. Continue alternating for one minute.
