Functional Circuits Class – Low Impact, Bodyweight

Functional Circuits Class (45 Mins) - Low Impact, Bodyweight - This 45-minute functional circuits class is broken up into three bodyweight circuits. Guided warm up and cool down included. #workoutclass #fitnessclass #lowimpactworkout #bodyweightworkout

“Functional Circuits” is the name I’m now using for the workouts I’ve been posting a bunch of since quarantine started. (3-4 exercises in a circuit, 30 seconds each, rest 30 seconds.) Hopefully it’ll be easier to find them this way!I personally love the format and think you will, too! Today’s functional circuits class is bodyweight only, and is low impact (no jumping exercises).

Warm up and cool down are included for a 45-minute class (it’s 30 mins of circuit work). If you like it, consider becoming a Patreon member! By doing so, you’ll get access to more workout classes. 🙂

Functional Circuits Class (45 Mins)

In this class, we start with a guided warm up, focusing on mobility and (low impact) dynamic movement. We then move onto our functional circuit work. In each of the three circuits, you’ll preform four exercises, back to back, for 30 seconds each. You then rest 30 seconds before repeating. So that’s 2 mins of work, 30 sec rest.

In Circuits 1 & 3, we’ll do some unilateral work, so we’ll complete 4 sets of the circuits, alternating right and left. In Circuit 2, we’ll complete 3 sets. Between circuits, you get about a minute to recover, but pause the video and take more time if needed. Always listen to your body, modifying or stopping as needed. We finish class with a guided cool down and stretch.
