Circuit Training
Remember meeting Carly on Monday? Well, she’s back. Please welcome Carly as a new co-host for Fitness Friday!
Thank you to everyone that commented and emailed about the themed vs. open link up preference. It was about 50/50. With your suggestions in mind, I’ll be making some changes soon.
With the launch of the Healthy Living Jumpstart 2016 program I didn’t get to share a workout as usual on Monday. I’m making up for it now.
I’ve created a butt kicking muscle sculpting circuit workout to add to your training this weekend or add it to your workout plan 2-3 times next week. Include 2-3 days of cardio and your week is set up for success.
Another thing about this workout.
I’m so freakin’ excited to share this with you!
It’s a sneak peek of the Healthy Living Jumpstart workouts and format.
This strength workout is broken up into a Warm Up and 3 circuits. Repeat each circuit 1-2 times, depending on your fitness level, before moving on to the next circuit. No rest between sets. Rest for 30 seconds after each circuit is complete. Don’t forget to stretch after your workout.
Equipment needed:
timer
dumbbells
stability ball
mat (optional)
This is the original Fitness Health & Happiness format, in case that is your preference, with the full size download for printing below ↓

There will be a little variation, but this is [almost] the exact Healthy Living Jumpstart format. Every workout includes a Word of the Day, a Never Give Up Mantra and all the workout specifics in a convenient user friendly full size download.

Also included in the program is an Exercise Index with complete instructions, photos and modifications for each exercise. Plus a few other surprises!
Remember:
- Keep your core tight
- Shoulders blades down and back
- Don’t skip the warm-up or stretching.
- Use proper body alignment and good form.
- Reps and rest periods should be based on your fitness level.
- Modify as needed to meet your fitness level by increasing/decreasing reps, weight and sets.
- Gradually increase intensity based on your progress.
I am a certified personal trainer, but this workout was not created for your specific fitness level and needs. Make modifications as needed. Intensity and rest periods should be based on your individual fitness level. See your physician before beginning any exercise program.

Wait. I almost forgot. We have another sneak peek to share. Carly has been working literally hours in the kitchen creating delicious, never boring, healthy recipes and she’s sharing one of them on her blog today!
Carly’s recipe for Spaghetti and Bean “Meatballs” is one of the 40+ plant-based recipes that will be included in the Healthy Living Jumpstart 2016!

It’s all just a little bit scary. My heart beats faster when I talk about this program. With the anticipation of sharing the workout I’ve been on cloud 9 all week. Boom!

I can feel all the excitement in this post! Isn’t it fantastic when a dream and a plan come all together! 2016 looks very exciting!
Good morning Mary Beth. It’s all so amazing. It feels like a dream. Have a fabulous Friday! xoxo
I feel like there’s so much love and energy every time I stop by Jill. Keep it up! I’m honored to be here.
Megan I can’t even begin to tell you how much I appreciate [and cherish] your kind words. If you were here I’d hug you <3 (not in a creepy stalker kind of way, promise!).
Thank you and much love. xoxo
Oh, great teaser! I loved doing Tina Reale’s program when she had it – this may be perfect for me.
Coco, let me know if you have any questions. I’d love to have you and your go-get-it attitude join us!
I did Tina’s program several years ago. It was great!
I’m so excited to watch you chase your dream. As you’ll see in my post today, I’m at a crossroads, and probably will need to make a career decision in the next couple of months. I’ll let the road help me sort that all out.
I’ve done some of my best thinking and idea generating on the road. In the shower too. Listen to your heart Wendy. You will know what to do. I’m living it.
Love the idea of the word of the day and the mantra! Great workout, cant wait to try it. So excited for you! You GO girl!
Thanks Autumn! I’d love to know what you think of the workout.
Great workout! Thanks for hosting!
Happy to host Julie! Enjoy the workout.
Really nice workout! I need to start working with weights and getting into a routine. I didn’t realize you were seeking feedback on Fitness Friday. I have noticed I always get reciprocation when I visit other pages, but I really enjoy being part of the community.
Thank you so much for your support Janelle. I’m happy to hear others have reciprocated for you.
We’re about to end our linkup because well people aren’t participating.
On average how long does it take co complete the workouts in your new program?
It takes time to build a link up Cassi but I totally understand you decision to end the linkup.
The workouts in the program are no more than 45 mins. I give exact times for the workouts in the program. I hope you will consider joining us 🙂
This is beautiful! I love that you aren’t just providing workouts, but laid them out so nicely and provide a little extra motivation. You are so inspiring!
Thanks Nicole. I hope others feel the same way about the workouts 🙂
This workout looks awesome Jill! So much energy! Doing Girl Boss things have really been making me excited lately. Lots of new opportunities!
Me too Jen! It was great chatting yesterday. I’m excited about our plans 🙂
What a great workout! Right now, my heart is beating fast because we just sold our home (meant to be our forever home that we built from the ground up) and now we are looking for temporary apartments before we purchase a new permanent home. Lots of memories we are leaving behind in order to have a better quality of life! Emotional right now but it is exciting and will be worth it in the end!
Hi Christine. I can see how moving from your forever home would be very emotional. If it feels right, and it sounds like it does, the roller coaster of emotions will be worth it in the end. Think of it as an exciting adventure! Keep us updated.
I love this circuit! Your graphic is so pretty as well.
Thank you Lauren. I’ve been playing around with graphic designs to find a signature look. I may have finally found it 🙂
Thanks so much for making these workouts downloadable! Now I can keep them all in one place so it’s easier to access!! Just signed up for the free jumpstart to see if I want to do the full one! Thanks Jill!
Yay! So happy you’re joining us for the week! I try to make the workouts as user friendly as possible. Downloads are a must when I’m looking for a workout. Thanks!
this is great! I love all of your excitement and passion and you have really laid out the workout so well. Can’t wait to see more.
Thank you Deborah! Is my excitement that obvious? 🙂
This workout looks like it burns so good, and your graphic is beautiful! I’m so excited for you with the JumpStart – I know 2016 is going to be your year to thrive and succeed! After finally settling in a city we want to live (either my husband or I have moved every year since 2011 due to school and work), 2016 is the year of experiences and travel for us, including hiking 75 miles of the Pacific Crest Trail!
Hi Laura. Hiking the PCT is a dream trip for my husband and I. Thanks and have an awesome rest of the weekend.
I’m so excited for you as you launch this new program Jill! It looks like it’s going to be awesome!!
Thanks Chrissy! The variety of emotions that have come with this program have surprised me. A lot exciting. A little scary. And so many more.
I appreciate your support. xoxo
So much excitement here, Jill! It’s wonderful to see you live your passion.
Thank you Marcia. Is my excitement that obvious? 😉
This looks like a great workout! Given the snow coming down right now, I think an indoor workout like this might be just right for tomorrow 🙂
Hi Celia. I would love love to know what you think of the workout. We’re still waiting for the snow. I for one am not ready for the “S” word. Or the “W” word!
Love the circuit Jill!
Thanks Carmy.
Love this new format for your workouts Jill. And those beans and spaghetti, delish! You two are going to be an awesome team! This workout covers all the bases and keeps that heart rate up!! I love the walking high kicks too, something new and fun!!
Thank you Sam. I respect and appreciate your opinion. How are things going? I know I keep saying it but we need to catch up!
This looks awesome! Congrats on what is looking like an amazing program. 😀
Thank you Kate! I happen to think it is amazing 😉
This circuit was awesome. I printed it out immediately and went downstair and did it. I did tweak it slightly by adding a 800m easy warmup on the treadmill and then 800m sprints in between each circuit. It kicked my butt which is exactly what I needed! Thanks!
Sue, I’m so curious! Was it too much (tough?)? Too easy? Boring? I’ve been dying to hear what someone thinks.
Thank you for your support. xoxo
I thought it was awesome. Just challenging enough without being too tough that I couldn’t finish it!
Great workout Jill, this looks like it is going to be an awesome way to start the new year!
Thank you Toni! Cheers to a kickstart 🙂
Great guest post! Those meatballs look tasty. Thanks for sharing this workout and the index.
Thank you Becki and happy to share.
I am dying to try this workout! Thanks for having me as a co-host of Fitness Friday – I can’t wait to connect with some new and familiar faces! Hope you are having a great weekend 🙂
So happy to be working with you. I’d love to know any and all of your opinions on the workout. Need another perspective. Mine is a little biased 🙂
I am super excited to try this workout Jill!!! Congratulations on launching this program!! I can really feel the excitement and I know its going to be successful!! Hooray!! Have a wonderful weekend 🙂
Hi Natalie. I’d love to know any and all of your opinions on the workout. I could use another perspective. Mine is a little biased.
Is my excitement that obvious 🙂
Great workout, Jill! Love the print out of the circuit, too. Your enthusiasm rocks!
Thank you Amy! I hope the downloads make the workouts as user friendly and convenient as possible.
Is my excitement that obvious? 🙂
Woohoo looks like a kick-butt workout!! I love the layout – you can tell how much time and effort you put into your programs. Love it!
I do Ariana and love every minute of it! Thank you. xoxo
