Today's Workout with Mike Simone: 10-Round Cardio Circuit

You don’t need a bunch of fancy exercies—or a ton of expensive equipment—to hit your fitness goals of losing excess weight and building lean muscle. And this three-move, no-equipment circuit is proof of exactly that.

Blast through back-to-back rounds of high knees, pushups, and mountain climbers to work your entire body into blasting away any excess fat you’ve got hanging around—especially around your midsection.

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 five to 10 rounds.

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