6 Reasons You Will Enjoy A Stationary Bike Workout

This shoulder circuit was inspired while watching the Crossfit Games. I am by no means a Crossfit expert, but I have performed some Crossfit workouts at a gym. Just like with any workout, form is the key. If you cannot perform the exercise correctly, decrease your weight or your reps. Start with a lighter weight and you can work your way up if you can easily perform the specified number of reps with good form.

This circuit routine focuses mainly on shoulders with some extra legs in there for bonus 😉� You will definitely get your heart rate up with the power moves and plyometrics so extra cardio is not really needed. I would start with a 5-10 minute warm up to get blood flowing and decrease chance of injury. If you are just starting an exercise program, I would begin with 3 rounds of each circuit and decrease repetitions as needed.

Starting with the power lifts should really fatigue your shoulders at the beginning of the workout before finishing them off with lighter weights and higher reps. I’ve included some video links to ensure you have the correct form.

Tips and Videos:

•  are commonly performed wrong, which can lead to a back injury. If you cannot master this form, I would substitute squats while you work on your deadlift form.
• require the ability to do a deadlift correctly. You can modify this exercise to a hang clean if you cannot do the deadlift portion of it.
