Circuit Training Workout 2

Squat with Lateral Raise:
Stand with your feet hip-width apart, abs and torso straight. Slowly bend knees into a squat, keeping knees behind toes. At the same time, raise arms up to shoulder level. Lower arms and stand up. Repeat for 30-60 seconds.

Side to Side Jump:
Jump with both feet together side to side. Make sure you are not staying in the same place. The wider and higher the jumps the more difficult they are. Push yourself.
20-30 seconds

Plank with Leg Extension:
In plank position on ball or on the floor, slowly lift one leg while keeping hips and shoulders square, abs in. Switch legs, alternating for 20-60 seconds. Modify by staying on  knees, if needed.

Jumping Rope (With or Without Rope):
30 seconds to 1 minute

Lunge with Biceps Curl:
In split stance, slowly lower in lunge (front and back legs at 90 degrees), and curl forearms toward shoulders. Perform for 20-30 seconds on each leg.

Back Extensions:
Lie face down on ball or floor with legs extended and hands behind the head or under the chin. Roll down over the ball and then squeeze the lower back to lift the chest off the ball or floor in a straight line. Lower and repeat for 30-60 seconds.

For this circuit, there should be a rest of 30-90 seconds between exercises and 1-3 minutes between circuits. You can combine circuits or do the same circuit multiple times. If doing the same circuit, repeat 3-5 times.
