Today’s Workout 89: The legs and abs circuit to build lean muscle

Before you can show off the muscle that you’ve been working so hard to build, you’ve got to burn off those last layers of fat.

And if you need to get rid of any extra flab around your abs or legs in order to see definition, then this is the circuit you’ve been looking for.

Swiss ball rollouts and single-arm, single-leg planks will develop core strength and muscle, leg raises will create definition, and jumping lunges will get you sweating and shedding fat. It’s the two-in-one circuit your body needs.

Directions

You’ll 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 period. You may also complete more or fewer rounds.
