Minnie’s Mini Circuit Workout

Good Morning! Happy Friday, TGIF! I bet as you are reading this (if it’s morning), I am in my kitchen having a dance party with Phoebs. You know on Fridays we love that, it’s our favorite time of the week. Coffee, music, and dancing. Nothing better.

My work day was decent! A little time in the OR, but nothing heavy. In the middle of my case I had realized I left my watch sitting in the locker room. Panic flooded through me. It was my Polar heart rate monitor! That thing is expensive. As soon as I was done I ran to go get it. The place I left it? GONE! I went to the front desk, no one had seen it. I sulked. Until I came across a really nice co-worker that said sometimes when people lose earrings they place it on little hooks, she took me to the spot and BAM! There it was! I was so happy. I know it’s a materialistic thing, but hey you guys know those things are pricey! Plus I just love mine 🙂 Glad people are honest, because someone could’ve easily swiped it.

4:30 came, and I skipped away with my empty water jug 😉

Since I didn’t take a rest day this work week, I was left with a bit of a hole in my workout schedule. I didn’t feel like repeating biceps, and a whole day of back was still out of the question since I injured it last week. What’s a lifter to do? Well since I did those three workouts back to back the other day in a circuit like manner, I was struck with an idea. A total body workout. I NEVER DO THESE! But it was really cool. Plus it really wore me out because I didn’t stop the whole time. Back to back intensity. I’ve listed it here below for you guys to give it a whirl.

I call it Minnie’s Mini Circuit Workout Cute eh?

So basically you do each of these “blocks” back to back in a circuit workout, 4 times. NO BREAKS! For example, I would do 5 clean and presses, then 10 side bicep curls, then 10 squats on the bosu, and start over- completing 4 times without breaks. Then move on to the next block. It’s intense!

Use weight according to what you think your body can handle, but I really pushed it on my clean and presses. I looked like a beast body builder 😉

It took me about 30 minutes to get through it. Remember, no breaks!

Round this baby out with some cardio and you have the perfect total body workout.
