(Video) Kick Your Own Ass Quickie: 12-Minute Challenge

Show that timer who’s boss in this race against the clock. Sweaty fitness funk is guaranteed. There’s some outtakes at the end of the video. Hardy-har-har-har. My legs were burning, yo.

Equipment Needed: 8-10 pound dumbbell. Yoga mat or carpeting.

Your Goal: Push to repeat the circuit as many times as you can in 12-minutes with little to no breaks in between each exercise, if possible. The exercises are simple, but get really intense when you’re racing against the clock.

3 Exercises in the Circuit: 1) wide squats with alternating dumbbell pass-throughs, 2) commando push-ups, 3) reverse lunges with dumbbell overhead

Circuit Sequence:

1) Wide squats with alternating dumbbell pass-throughs. 20 reps
2) Commando push-ups. 4 reps
3) Reverse lunge (left leg) with dumbbell overhead. 10 reps
4) Commando push-ups. 4 reps
5) Reverse lunge (right leg) with dumbbell overhead. 10 reps
6) Commando push-ups. 4 reps

Remember your goal and challenge yourself to hit this circuit as many times a possible in 12 minutes.

Happy sweating!
