    Time-Saving Total Body Strength Workout

    Published: Jan 14, 2016 by Blair Lonergan

    Short on time, but still want to squeeze in some quick fitness? This Time-Saving Total Body Strength Workout uses compound movements to tone multiple body parts at once for an efficient and effective in-home circuit exercise routine!

    This Time-Saving Total Body Strength Workout is an efficient exercise routine for those days that you can't make it to the gym!

    Hi, hi! How are those New Year's resolutions treating you? Despite our best intentions, it can be SO HARD to muster the energy and motivation to get to the gym during a long, busy week. That's why I love to have a few routines like this one on hand to get the job done quickly!

    I actually did this circuit workout in my living room one morning recently (on the fly, because I didn't have time to get to the gym before the kids woke up), and I found it to be surprisingly effective. In just a few minutes I was sweaty and my muscles felt fatigued. Mission accomplished, so I figured that I should probably share it with all of you!

    I hope that you'll give it a try and let me know what you think!

    Directions:

    Perform one set of each exercise. Repeat circuit twice (or add a third circuit for a really tough workout)! Not sure how to perform the exercises? Just click on the title of each exercise for a video demonstration. As always, be sure to check with a doctor before beginning any exercise routine! Be safe!

    1. Squat + Overhead Press: 10-12 reps
    1. Curtsy Lunge + Bicep Curl: 10-12 reps PER LEG
    1. Deadlift + Reverse Fly: 10-12 reps
    1. Forearm Plank: 30 seconds (or longer, if you can hold it!)

    REPEAT CIRCUIT one more time (or two more times) before cooling down with some gentle stretching.
