Let’s get to it! I really enjoy circuit training. It tends to keep me from getting bored. This is a three circuit series with three exercises in each circuit. To avoid a longer video, I only filmed one repetition, but I advise runners to complete two times through each circuit.
Warm up Prior to starting the video. This can be a 5 minute walk or 5 minute easy jog.
Circuit #1
Inchworms (10 reps)
3 Way Kicks (10 ea side)
Singe Leg Heel Raises (10 each side)
