Beat the burnout
and fi ll up on energy
with this fatigue-
fi ghting workout

YOU MIGHT FEEL POOPED at
the end of a sweat sesh, but taking up
regular exercise – without pushing too
hard – can actually up your energy levels
and keep you going in the long run. HIIT
workouts are sweet for fat-burn, but fi ve
spin sessions a week or daily hill sprints
aren’t exactly the smartest workout
choices if you’re left crashed on the
lounge every night or struggling to wake
up every AM. Feeling some serious
burnout? Maintain regular sessions at
a low to medium intensity for a while if
you’re in need of a little boost – keeping
your body moving and blood and
oxygen pumping will bring the goods,
so don’t be tempted to slack o  on the
exercise front altogether, either. Try
this workout two to three times a week
(depending on your other workouts) and
get back to your energetic self, stat.

HOW TO DO IT: Perform the allotted
reps of each move in the fi rst tri-set in
a circuit format, at a medium intensity.
Go back to the start and repeat for the
number of sets recommended for your
level, taking rest whenever necessary.
Once complete, do the same for the
second tri-set and then, fi nally, for
the abs-focused fi nisher.

YOU’LL NEED:^ Kettlebell, stability
ball, 2 x dumbbells

Starting out?
3 x 10 reps
Need a challenge/
going pro?
4 x 10 reps
