THE WORKOUT

WHAT IS IT

A total-body workout

created by celebrity trainer

Andy McDermott. This

circuit-style routine will push

you to your max for a full 15

minutes – if you last that

long. Start with a squat-

to-grappler curl, which will

simultaneously work your

lower- and upper- body

strength. Use a suspension

trainer to support a deep

squat. Next, move into a

TRX chest press, then toe-in

knee raises to target your

core. Finish with 30 seconds

of stairs, cycling or running.

WHY IT WORKS

Strength and function don’t

have to be exclusive. This

beast of a circuit combines

athletic movement and

strength training. Fifteen

minutes may not seem like

a lot, but it will be as your

strength and agility are put

to the test from start to

finish. The payof, however,

is well worth it. “This is a

quick, ecient workout

that will help you get fit and

move more athletically,”

adds McDermott.
