PRIMEFIT Workout of the Month: Month 12

This 10-Minute Strength Circuit is designed to help you get the most out of your workout by focusing on quality repetitions and proper form. Complete as many rounds of the following exercises as possible in 10 minutes and rest briefly when necessary but aim to challenge yourself to get through the circuit without compromising on technique. Let’s get started! 

1. Push-Up (10 reps) 

Equipment: Floor Mat  

How To: Start in a plank position with your hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart. Lower your body towards the floor by bending your elbows, keeping your body in a straight line. Push back up to the starting position. If needed, modify by performing on your knees or using a wall for support. 

2. Squat or Chair Sit (10 reps) 

Equipment: Floor Mat  

How To: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointing outward. Lower your body by bending your knees and hips as if sitting back into a chair, keeping your chest up and knees behind your toes. Push through your heels to stand back up. For a chair sit modification, lower yourself to a chair before standing back up. 

3. Lunge (5 reps on each side) 

Equipment: Floor Mat 

How To: Stand with feet hip-width apart, take a step forward with one leg, and lower your hips toward the floor, keeping your torso upright. Your back knee should nearly touch the floor. Push through the front heel to return to the starting position. Alternate sides with each rep. Modify by holding onto a wall or chair for stability. 

4. Plank (10-second hold) 

Equipment: Floor Mat (optional wall and chair) 

How To: Start in a forearm plank position, ensuring your body forms a straight line from head to heels. Engage your core and hold the position for 10 seconds. Modify by holding a plank on your knees or performing a wall plank for reduced intensity.
