The Fat-Burning & Toning Circuit
- Jumping Jacks (Cardio + Full Body) Jump feet out while raising arms overhead, then jump back in. Move fast to raise your heart rate.
- Squats (Tones Legs & Glutes) Lower as if sitting in a chair, then drive through heels to stand. Keep chest up and core tight.
- Mountain Climbers (Belly Fat Burner) In plank position, quickly drive knees toward chest one at a time. Keep hips low.
- Glute Bridges (Tones Butt & Core) Lie on back, knees bent. Lift hips toward ceiling, squeeze glutes at the top, then lower slowly.
- Bicycle Crunches (Waist Sculptor) Lie on back, hands behind head. Bring opposite elbow to knee while extending the other leg. Twist fully.
- Push-Ups (Tones Upper Body) (Modify on knees if needed). Lower chest toward floor, then push back up. Keep core engaged.
- Plank (Deep Core Tightener) Hold forearm plank position with body in a straight line. Squeeze core and glutes.
- Flutter Kicks (Lower Belly Finisher) Lie on back, lift legs slightly off the floor and kick them up and down rapidly.
Post-Workout Core Finisher (5 minutes)
- Stomach Vacuums – 6–8 holds of 20–30 seconds each (Best done on an empty stomach or after workout)
