So she didn’t ask me to post this for her… The workouts are just that good! Visit her Tumblr for more healthy eating tips and workouts: http://happilymaintaining.tumblr.com/

So today I only did the first workout, but if you’re hungry for more, you should do them both for a whopping 40 minutes of circuit!

This one’s a jumprope workout (but you don’t really need a jumprope for it). If you don’t know some of the exercises… look them up! Or improvise. The point is to move and challenge yourself. Remember, circuits are high-intensity, so you can do them for lesser periods of time. They’re like short blasts, so you have to go all out in each exercise, or you’ll end the circuit unsatisfied… Enjoy!
