MULTI JOINTS MINI CIRCUIT WORKOUTS – During Festive season, two short workouts, 10 minutes a day can be just as effective as longer workout. The key is to focus on intensity and use your time wisely. To add intensity to workouts, you should indulge in high impact activities like jumping and plyometrics. The key is to try compound moves to work for more than one muscle group to speed up heart rate. Strength training exercises especially when doing in a circuit format, can really burn some serious calories.

Use enough weight that you are challenged for each exercise.
