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
