For the first five moves, perform as many reps as you can in 30 seconds before moving onto the next exercise. Then finish strong by performing the last exercise for 60 seconds straight. If you’ve got more than four minutes to spare, repeat the entire circuit up to three times, ideally at least twice a week for visible results.
