We start with a split squat and pulldown combination, to work legs and back. We follow this up with a 4 exercise circuit which we’ll do 5 times. This circuit focuses on leg posterior chain, and shoulders/upper back. A core finisher to round things off!

We start with a leg-intensive first group of exercises – push ups are actually a relief here!
We then move to a more trunk and hamstring focussed circuit.
We end with a partner finisher – but don’t worry, you can do this on your own too!

You will need a book-filled backpack or a weight for this workout, to add weight to the leg and back exercises.
A timer will also be handy, as we have a couple of timed challenges (although of course any timepiece will do).
A full body workout awaits, with a challenging push up finisher!

We begin with a leg complex paired with a pulldown. We then move into a muscular conditioning block, including overhead squat (great for thoracic mobility), a hamstring bridge and a tricep extension.
We finish with a core superset and a challenging finisher!

In today’s full body workout, we work quads and hamstrings with squats and romanian deadlift. For the upper body we have two types of push up (focussing on different angles) and we utilise a towel to do a prone pulldown for the lats.
Core and lower back work completes the session.
