lose_baby_weightWhen you are trying to lose weight, eating well and exercising should be at the top of your priority list.
But sometimes it can feel as though you are doing the same old same old exercise. And after a while, that can get pretty boring.
So today we have a new kind of circuit for you to try out.
It’s perfect to do at home, or why not recruit a friend to do the circuit with you at the park.
Everything is broken down into 1 minute intervals. So even if you are finding something challenging just keep in mind ‘it’s only a minute, I can do anything for a minute!’
The total workout goes for 15 minutes. At first just try to get through it once, with the hope to eventually get your fitness up enough to run through it twice (or three times if you really want to push yourself).
Plus make sure you join the 28 Day Challenge here to get HIIT training routines to really WORK YOUR BODY and burn fat fast
If any of the exercises are painful or uncomfortable please switch them for something that you are able to do. And remember not to undertake exercise after having a baby until you have your doctor’s clearance to do so.
