- Always warm up for a few minutes before doing these exercises.
- Do each exercise for 45 seconds.
- Rest 15 seconds before moving to the next exercise. (If you are a beginner you may rest longer)
- Repeat circuit 3 times for a total of 15 minutes.
- Listen to your body, and increase the frequency and intensity of interval training sessions gradually as the body adapts. Everyone’s fitness level is different so it is important not to overdo it. Take rest days when needed.
- Some of the exercises you may only be able to do for 20-30 seconds and need a longer rest time. That is perfectly fine! I promise if you continue to push yourself, your time will increase as you go.

Side Plank Left:
Lie on your left side with your legs stacked and fully extended. Using your lower elbow and forearm, prop your body up, making sure to keep the abs tight the entire time. Your body should form a straight line from shoulders to ankles.
