Workout of the Month: High Intensity Circuit "10-Minute Mayhem"

"10-MINUTE MAYHEM" WORKOUT DESCRIPTION

EVO training is about simplicity. If you're finding traditional training a little boring, over-complicated and unmotivating, you'll love this simple High Intensity Circuit. No frills, no spills - just low tech, high effect!You will need a kettle bell (8kg for women and 12kg for men), and a chin up bar (or TRX If you require something easier). Organize your space so you have easy access to this equipment, without having to travel too far.This high intensity circuit workout is done against the clock - set the timer for 10 minutes. This means that you should move as quickly as possible through the exercise sequence. There are only three exercises, and the objective is to complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes. Try to improve your performance each time you come to EVO.Finally, don’t be fooled by the apparent simplicity of this workout - the reps are increasing as you move through the rounds, and so will your heart rate. For motivation, partner up with a buddy and compete against each other. Remember, EVO training is about skill, so focus on good movement technique, whilst moving as fast as possible.
