Are you ready to supercharge your metabolism and kickstart your fat loss journey? If so — you’re in the right place. We’re about to explore an effective, full-body circuit workout that will help you torch those extra calories and achieve your fitness goals.
Best of all, this circuit is easy to follow — making it suitable for beginners and experienced fitness enthusiasts alike.
Why a Full-Body Circuit Works
Full-body circuits are a fantastic way to engage multiple muscle groups simultaneously — maximizing calorie burn and fat loss. This high-intensity approach boosts your metabolism not just during your workout but long after it’s done — thanks to the afterburn effect, aka Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption (EPOC).
In simple terms, your body continues to burn calories to recover and repair itself — long after your workout is over.
So, grab your water and a towel — and let’s do this!
Warm-up (5 minutes)
Before you get into the circuit — it’s essential to get your body moving to prevent injuries and prepare your body for exercise. Spend five minutes getting your body warm and ready to go!
Here’s a few warm-up ideas…
- Light cardio (marching or jogging in place, jumping jacks, or jump rope)
- Arm circles (forward and backward)
- Torso rotations
- Lunges and squats
- Plank walk-outs
Great! Now that you’re warmed up and ready to go — let’s get started!
Full-Body Circuit (20-30 minutes)
Perform each exercise for 45 seconds, followed by 15-30 seconds of rest between exercises. Complete the circuit for 2-3 rounds — with 1 minute rest between sets. Depending on your fitness level — adjust rest times as needed.
- Jump Squats: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Squat down, then explode upwards jumping off the ground. Land softly (knees bent) and immediately transition into the next squat. Make it low-impact by removing the jump and exploding up to your tiptoes.
- Push-Ups: Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Extend your legs so you have a straight line from your head to your heels with feet shoulder-width apart — Lower your chest to the ground, then push back up. If this is too hard — drop to your knees.
- Mountain Climbers: Get into a plank position, then alternate bringing your knees to your chest, engaging your core.
- Dumbbell or Bodyweight Lunges: Hold a dumbbell in each hand or use your body weight. Step forward with one leg, lowering your body until both knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Return to start — alternating legs. Keep your feet hip width apart to help you balance.
- Elbow Plank: Hold a plank position with your elbows directly below your shoulders. Extend your legs so you have a straight line from your head to your heels with feet shoulder-width apart. Hold this position squeezing your glutes and core. If this is too hard — drop to your knees.
- Burpees: Start in a standing position. Feet shoulder-width apart. Drop into a squat position putting your hands on the ground. Kick or step your feet back to a plank. Then step or jump your feet towards your hands and return to standing. BONUS — add a squat jump as you return to stand!
Always listen to your body — and don’t hesitate to modify the circuit to fit your fitness level.
Remember to stay hydrated throughout your workout and maintain proper form to prevent injuries. As you progress, increase the intensity by adding weights or extending the duration of each exercise and lessening the rest time between exercises.
Congratulations! You’ve completed the circuit! But, you’re not done yet — it’s time to cool down. This will feel good after pushing through your workout.
Cool-down (5 minutes)
Give your body some love — after all it just worked really hard!
Take at least five-minutes to cool-down and stretch white you’re still warm. Hold each stretch for 15-30 seconds.
Your body will thank you!
