Today’s Workout 101: The circuit to light up your arms and legs

Bring some new heat to your total-body workouts with this quick-hit routine to train your arms, legs, and even your chest.

Your challenge today: Six back-to-back rounds of reverse lunges, dumbbell speed curls, dumbbell skull crushers, and maximum-effort 1 1/2 close-grip pushups to pump up your biceps, triceps, quads, and hamstrings. Your muscles will hate you while you’re doing it, but the results will more than speak for themselves.

Directions

Do this workout as a circuit, meaning you’ll complete each exercise consecutively without rest. Once you’ve finished all exercises, rest for 30 to 60 seconds. Repeat the entire circuit for 4 to 6 rounds.

Depending upon your ability, you may shorten or lengthen the rest periods between circuits. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
