Today’s Workout 141: The double-duty abs and shoulders circuit

Short on time? Feeling the urge to skip the gym? Do this circuit instead.

Get in and out of the gym in just 30 minutes with this three-move circuit that’ll primarily work your abs and shoulders. Attack back-to-back rounds of dumbbell clean and presses, barbell rollouts, and mountain climbers to feel the burn in your core, delts, and traps—all while building serious upper-body muscle.

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 5–10 rounds.

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