Back to School Circuit Training Workout


Before you pick up those books and start walking to class, make sure you've got your workout schedule in place for the upcoming semester. Here's a piece I just finished up a local athletic club.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It’s that time of year again when teachers, parents, and students start preparing to head “back to school.” While those three words always used to haunt me every summer, some actually embrace this time of year. Clients I work with who teach at or attend local schools are always looking for an efficient workout. Here’s one I’ve used with clients that engages all major muscle groups, requires no equipment, and takes a maximum of 10 measly minutes:
Jumping Jacks (15 sec)
Push-ups (15 sec)
Mountain Climbers (15 sec)
Bodyweight Squats (15 sec)

Perform the above 5x at a good pace, resting 30-60 seconds between circuits)
