Advanced 3-Day Circuit Workout

This advanced 3-day workout plan covers a full-body routine using only bodyweight exercises. Each session lasts 30-40 minutes. Perform on non-consecutive days (e.g., Mon/Wed/Fri). Focus on form, push your intensity, and rest 1-2 days between sessions.

Day 1: Upper Body & Core Focus (35 minutes)

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

Marching in place with arm swings.

Circuit (3 Rounds)

Perform each exercise for 30-45 seconds (or 12-15 reps), minimal rest (10-20 seconds) between exercises. Rest 90 seconds between rounds.

  • Diamond Push-Ups: Hands in a diamond shape under chest—lower fully for chest/tricep burn.
  • Superman Holds with Alternating Arm/Leg Lifts: Lie face down, lift opposite arm and leg for dynamic core engagement.
  • Pike Push-Ups: From downward dog position, bend elbows to target shoulders.
  • Plank Jacks: In high plank, jump feet out/in like jumping jacks for cardio spike.
  • Bicycle Crunches: Alternate knee-to-elbow twists at a brisk pace for obliques.

Cool-Down (5 minutes)

Stretch chest, shoulders, and abs.

Day 2: Lower Body & Stability Focus (30 minutes)

Warm-Up (5 minutes)

High knees and bodyweight squats.

Circuit (3 Rounds)

Perform each exercise for 30-45 seconds (or 10-12 reps per side), minimal rest (10-20 seconds) between exercises. Rest 60 seconds between rounds.

  • Lunges with Knee Drive: Alternating reverse lunges, drive knee up explosively on the rise.
  • Glute Bridges with March: Bridge up, then alternate lifting knees for hamstring activation.
  • Calf Raises on Toes (Single-Leg Alternating): Rise high on one foot, hold at top for burn.
