At Home Workouts

January 15, 2012 by Julie 166 Comments

If you read this blog with any regularity, you’ve likely noticed that I have a serious love of circuit-style workouts. I love how they move quickly and fight exercise boredom, but mostly I love how much they kick my booty! I am always a sweaty mess after a circuit workout.

One of the best part about circuit workouts is that many of them require no gym equipment and those that do can usually be slightly altered so you can do them at home in your living room.

Below you will find some of my favorite workouts that I modified slightly (the original workout is hyperlinked) so that they may be done at home or in a hotel room when you’re traveling.

No fancy equipment or weights required!

  • At Home Circuit:

  • Cardio Circuit Workout:

  • No Nonsense Circuit Workout:

    • Jump Rope Circuit Workout:

Note: Simply mimic the jump rope movement if you do not have a jump rope at home. You may also substitute push ups for Kettlebell swings.

Questions of the Afternoon

  • What is your favorite way to workout away from the gym? Workout DVDs? Walking outside? Circuits?
  • What websites are your go-to websites for quality at-home workouts?

I’ve heard great things about BodyRock and Insanity for awesome and challenging at-home workouts but still haven’t tried any of their workouts myself.

Be sure to follow PBFingers on Instagram and Facebook!

I'd love to connect with you! I am always so grateful when you let me know you tried one of my recipes or workouts and tag me in your photos or updates. Thank you so much!!!

    I’m so glad I finally found the original source for that first circuit! I’ve done it a few times, but I just got it off tumblr. It’s great! I just did the cardio one last night and it was pretty tough. I didn’t expect it to be that hard just looking at it! Thanks for sharing these. I’m going to try another one this weekend 🙂

    These are fantastic workouts! I’m a big fan of circuit training for an intense workout in a short amount of time. I’ll definitely be adding some of these routines to shake things up a bit.

    I like it to work out at home without equipment, because I don’t have so much money to go to gym. So thanks for your exercise routine.

    Hi, Julie. I’m a newly qualified fitness instructor from Kenya. I love your workouts – they work great for older folk too! I’m 40 and my clients are between 30 and 55 years old. I use your workouts once a week as fitness challenges, modifying intensity of the exercises as needed to suit the clients. They are all ladies and they really enjoy the kick-ass circuits. Keep them coming!

    Hello Julie, how do you time yourself doing these circuts? I’ve looked for a timer that willl beep every 60 or 30 seconds and haven’t been able to find one.

    Thanks in advance!
