A BODY WEIGHT CIRCUITS

Just to help all you readers out, here is a body weight circuits we used to do in the forces while on tour. Its nothing special but it works the whole of your body and burns off lots of fat. Its also a killer at times and you feel it the next day.
So here we go :

Start by warming up for 10 mins, jogging round and shaking out the muscles.

Close Arm Press 10 reps
Sit Up Twists 20 reps
Squats 30 reps

Wide Arm Press 15 reps
Sit Ups 20 reps
Lunges 30 reps (15reps on each leg)

Tri Dips ( on a wall / bench ) 20 reps
Crunchies 20 reps
Step Ups ( on a wall /bench ) 30 reps

Press Ups 15 reps
Leg Raises 20 reps
Squat jumps 30 reps

Do this body weight circuit 3 times through rest for 1 min after completing each of the 12 exercises all the way through without stopping, then jog for a 1 min and start again.

After you have done the circuit for the third time rest for 2 minutes and jump into this Abs circuit,

Sit ups
Sit up Twist
Crunchies
Leg raises
Alt Ankle Taps
Inners
Scissors

Do 10 reps of each ab exercise all the way through without stopping, rest for 2 mins and do the ab circuit again. Once you have mastered it you can do it for a third time.

Finished the workout routines so time to stretch off and warm down.

This body weight circuit may look easy but it is for people with a moderate fitness level and you only get out of the circuit how much you put in it. So give it a try and let me know what your thoughts are.
Like I said we did it when there was no weights about and to keep ourselves fit.
