THOUGH YOU AREN’T USING EXTERNAL RESISTANCE,

THIS IS STILL A CHALLENGING WORKOUT – THE REST

PERIODS ARE SHORT AND THE MOTIONS ARE COMPLEX.

WITH THAT IN MIND, IT’S STILL SUITABLE FOR BEGINNERS

• JUST FOLLOW THE GUIDELINES BELOW, AND TAKE
  YOUR TIME TO PERFECT EACH REP.

SPRINGTIME CIRCUIT

BEGINNER:

Do the entire

circuit once;

take 10 seconds

to rest between

exercises.

INTERMEDIATE:

Do the circuit

two or three

times; rest 10

seconds between

exercises.

ADVANCED: Do

the circuit three

or four times; rest

no more than 10

seconds between

exercises.

The sights and sounds of springtime tend

to inspire physical activity. From the sun’s

rays beckoning you to come outside, to

the sweet aroma of budding f lowers, to

the gentle breeze cooling your skin, the

palpable joy that spring ushers in means

there is no better season for injecting a

little nature into your workouts.

That’s certainly the M.O. when Tosca

and her trainer, Rita Catolino, get together

during the early days of spring. As the

weather can sometimes be unpredictable

in their native Canada, they know that

taking advantage of every iota of sunshine

is crucial – whether they have dumbbells

handy or not.

Follow along with this power team as

they demonstrate a lean, mean six-move

routine that busts your workout excuses –

all you need is 20 minutes, a bench and

a “can-do” attitude!
