Beginner’s Bodyweight Circuit

March 22, 2007

For beginners out there who are looking to try a bodyweight routine to get into decent shape, this routine is for you.

This workout consists of four exercises, one that involves dumbbells, that are performed in a circuit. A circuit is when you go through the exercises a certain number of times with a minimum amount of rest between circuits.

In this beginner’s routine, you will start out with 2-3 circuits, resting for a minute between each. When you can go through the circuit with relative easy, you’ll be ready to move on to a more advanced routine. Each exercise should be done for 10 reps.

Beginner’s Bodyweight Circuit

Hindu Squats x 10
Burpees x 10
Pushups x 10
One-arm Dumbbell Cleans x 10 (each arm)

Notes: Train consistently 3 days per week and perform 2-3 circuits with one minute rest between each circuit. Use perfect form and increase circuits or reps as you become more advanced Get lots of rest, eat good food and drink plenty of water.

Understand that to be successful in any weight training program – hard work is a must! Half-hearted effort does nothing for you. If you’re new to weight training or grossly out of shape, consult a physician first. End of disclaimer.
