I absolutely love using all kinds of exercise implements — which I routinely refer to as my “toys” — but let’s face it: sometimes all we have available is… our own body in all its glory!
Whether you’re traveling, squeezed for space at home, or just in the mood for something completely different, bodyweight workouts are always a fun way to shake things up, and challenge yourself in new ways. With this in mind, for your pleasure, here are three circuits that are guaranteed to leave you breathless and burning, but with a wide smile on your face (or at least I hope!)
