A Great Body Weight Circuits Out In The Field

Here is a great body weight circuits I did whilst serving abroad.

Body weight circuits aim at the progressive development of muscular and circular respiratory fitness. The muscular benefit in the circuit training is mainly endurance and will achieve increased efficiency of complete circulatory and respiration systems.

With this body weight circuits you don't need weights just a mat or some grass and music.
You will be working your ARMS, LEGS then your ABS and a little bit of running, so this workout is not for the faint hearted. It might look easy but believe me if you put the effort in you will feel it. I did this workout 3 times a week and came back from a 4 month deployment very fit and with a good physique.

Do each exercise for 30 secs first time through, then rest for 1min 20 secs, then 15 secs second time through, rest, then if you can 15secs.

Start with

ARMS
Press Ups
Wide Arm Press
Close Arm Press
Tri Dips (on wall or anything knee height)
Arm Punches

LEGS
Squats
Lunges
Squat Jumps
Side Jumps
Lunge Jumps

ABS
Sit Ups
Leg Raises
Trunk Curls
Cycling Twists
Half Sits

Rest for 2 mins, then depending where your training work out a 25m stretch, a 50m stretch and a 100m stretch. Sprint 25m jog back slowly, then 50m, then 100m do this 3 times through.
It is hard but it will get you fit and you will feel the benifits after a few weeks.
I'd like to say I'm not a fitness instructor or a qualified trainer I'm just giving you this body weight circuits that we did in the forces that helped me stay fit and active for service so good luck.
