Hard Core 2

Instructions
Find a space that is clear in front, behind, and to each side of you to avoid injury. Perform a warm-up that consists of an activity that gradually increases your heart rate and moves your joints through a moderate to large range of motion. Perform each exercise in the warm-up for 45 seconds. After completing the workout perform a cool-down that allows your heart rate to gradually slow down to a normal rate. Hold static stretches for 20-30 seconds.

It is encouraged that you modify each exercise to a version that is best for you.

Workout
Perform each exercise in the circuit at a high intensity for 40 seconds. Rest for 20 seconds between exercises. Repeat the circuit for 2-3 sets. Rest for 1-2 minutes between each set. Once you have completed all sets for both Circuit 1 and Circuit 2 perform the “Burnout” exercise with all out intensity for 30 seconds to finish the workout.
