Today's Workout 5: The circuit to crush your core

There are plenty of complicated exercises and strict diet plans you can follow to drop extra weight. But you can also stick to something ridiculously simple—like this no-nonsense routine that’ll seriously get you sweating.

Incorporate this four-move circuit—back-to-back rounds of jumping lunges, plyo pushups, squat-curl-presses, and planks—into your weekly fitness regimen, and you’ll see your entire body start to lean out, revealing the muscle definition you’ve been working to achieve.

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 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.
