Thousands of men and women are giving up slow, boring cardio training and making the switch to bodyweight circuits to help them lose fat and get lean.

You too can take a break from normal cardio and intervals, and replace this portion of your training with the appropriate intensity bodyweight circuits. Or you can combine cardio and bodyweight exercises together within the same workout.

If you're looking to replace your cardio with bodyweight circuits, I generally recommend starting with easy bodyweight circuits. Once you are familiar with the basic bodyweight exercises, you can create your own bodyweight circuits - you are limited only by your imagination.

Here are my Bodyweight Circuit guidelines again:

When putting together a BW circuit, I like to go in this order:

Squat (total body warmup)
Lunge (pause at bottom to stretch psoas and rectus femoris)
Pushup (upper warmup)
6 main exercises, alternating between lower body & Upper body exercises
Finish with 2 ab exercises

Pushup (upper warmup)
6 main exercises, alternating between lower body & Upper body exercises
Finish with 2 ab exercises
You can do all of the above as 1 giant circuit, or split it up into three components like this:

A - Warm-up exercises (Squat, lunge, pushup): Go through each 2 times

B - 3 pairs of upper-lower exercises for main cardio effect: Go through each 1-3 times

Here's a great possible routine:

Siff Lunge
Decline Pushup
Bulgarian Split Squat
Inverted Row
Step-up
Shoulder-Press Pushup

C - Finish with 2 ab exercises: Go through each 1-3 times.

You can use specific tempo for each exercise, or simply use a 1-0-1 tempo for each exercise to achieve a continuous flow with each exercise for a heart-pumping cardio effect - and this allows you to do more reps per set.

Bodyweight circuits are incredible for muscle definition, fat loss, and getting those ripped abs.
