Hi Julie, thank you for your comment. I am glad you enjoyed this workout 🙂

I totally understand what a busy schedule can do to a training regime, so I hope your new 6 day plan will work out for you. You must let me know how you get on.

Look forward to hearing from you again 😀

Cheers
Marianne

Hello! I have been following your site for the last couple of months and doing various workouts “hit & miss” due to my crazy schedule. I absolutely love your site and workouts!

I just did this workout all the way through and OMG!!! I am profusely sweating like crazy and I’m still winded as I type this!

Keep up the great site and workouts! I have printed several of your workouts and will embarking seriously starting today doing your workouts –trying at least for 6 days a week!

Thanks!
Julie

Hi Anya,
Firstly, welcome 🙂

I do these workouts 2-3 times per week. I also do other training in the gym with weights, some cardio and I attend my partner’s Kettlebell classes when time permits. I would class these workouts as both circuit and strength training. That’s the beauty of them. Short intense bursts of effort, mixing cardio and resistance, with even shorter rest periods is the best way to optimise fat burning and strength.

If I was only to do these workouts I would probably do them 5-6 times per week.

Hope this helps.
Marianne

Hi, I am new to this site and wanted to know how often you try doing your workouts. Also how would you call this kind of exercise–circuit training or strength training?
Thank you.

Hey i did this workout today. After watching it the second time around. ha ha, i realized on the elevated glute raises, you are on your hands, ha ha i was on my elbows. Might explain why i did twice as many reps as you. ha ha, i’m sure i would have had a hard time doing what you did, had i been on my hands. Nonetheless, awesome workout. I had to do the pushups on my knees as always, but better than nothing.
Here are my reps
ps i thought i would do two rounds, but with all those sets of burpees, i decided there was no way i could do it.

burpees 16
elevated single glute raise, right, 30
elevated single glute raise, left, 34 (weird) usually right is more

triceps dip 20
burpees 17
body weight curtsies right, 19
body weight curtsies left, 19
staggered pushups 19,,, these were a little hard for me
burpees 14,, these are a love/hate thing for me.

reverse lunge with high kick right 25
reverse lunge with high kick left 24
i must admit on the last two excercises, the lunges w/kick i stopped about five seconds or so before the timer went off. I was spent. and it didn’t help that i didn’t have the air on.ha ha

elevated pushups 14, definatley only did these for about 40 seconds. this was a killer workout.
