The 2,500-Calorie Workout: Strength Circuit

Workout 1

Workout 1 Points: 3 (35-minute workout; 300 calories burned)

This routine is structured as two circuits. Do each move in Circuit 1 for one minute and repeat. Then do 5 minutes of moderate cardio (jumping rope, stair climbing, calisthenics, etc.). Finally, do each move in Circuit 2 for 1 minute and repeat.

If your goal is weight loss, add 20 to 30 minutes of moderate cardio, such as cycling, swimming, or brisk walking, before or after this workout for an extra 2.5 points.
