Exercise of the Week: Metabolic Conditioning Circuit

I ran out of videos. Or should I say haven't shot any videos lately. My bad. So going back to pre-YouTube days I'm actually going to describe or write out an exercise of the week.

Finishers and conditioning circuits seem to be the thing lately because of the exercise density, the increased workout intensity and the positive effects they have on fat loss. The following metabolic conditioning circuit was borrowed from the Warp Speed fat Loss program, which I'm currently experimenting with.

1)Lateral Step Out Squat, 30 seconds
2)Jump Rope, 90 seconds
3)Alternate Step Up, 30 seconds
4)Jump Rope, 90 seconds
5)Plank Walk Up, 30 seconds
6)Jump Rope, 90 seconds
7)Burpee, 30 seconds
8)Jump Rope, 90 seconds
9)Lateral Step Out squat, 30 seconds
10)Jump Rope, 90 seconds
11)Alternate Step Up, 30 seconds

Move from one exercise to the next without any rest and perform each exercise for the prescribed time.

Don't have a jump rope? Go to Perform Better and pick one up for $10-20. Or just substitute some jumping jacks instead.
