Second day of this cardio work out and I am absolutely feeling it! I feel great! I am so excited to be getting back into it! So glad I found you and these programs you have! ❤️

This circuit is titled “apartment friendly” simply because there’s no jumping involved! Apartment or not, sometimes you just want to get in a quiet cardio session. When the boys are napping and I don’t want to wake them up, this is one of my go-to cardio circuits. 

The goal is 5 rounds, however, do as many as you can! I love that this workout can technically be done in 5 minutes depending on how many rounds you decide to do! 

I usually rest 20-30 seconds between each exercise.

You can alter the difficulty by how long of a rest period you have in-between exercises. 

If you happen to try this one out, please leave a comment and let me know how it went!

- Start by standing with your feet together 
- With a slight bend in your knees, raise your arms up over your head
- At the same time, extend one foot out to the side
- Place feet back together at the same time that you lower your arms
- That’s one rep

Continue alternating sides as your complete reps.

Jumping Jacks - Variation

- Start with feet about shoulder width apart
- Perform air squat
- When you start coming back up, pivot in one direction, extending an arm out into a “punch”
- Return to squat position
- That’s one rep

Squat to Punch

- Start in standing position 
- Hold arms out in front of you. Bend your arms, putting one hand on top of the other
- Lean forward slightly, getting in a lunge position with one leg bent in the front, and the other extended behind you
- With the leg that’s extended behind you, bring knee towards your chest, touching your hands if possible
- Return to lunge position 
- That’s one rep

Knee Drives

- Start in standing position
- Reach down, placing your hands on the floor
- Put one foot behind you, following with the other, until you’re in a push-up position
- Move one foot forward, following with the other, until you’re in a crouched position 
- Stand back up 
- That’s one rep
