ANCIENT EXERCISES CIRCUIT

This circuit can be performed virtually anywhere. It requires very little room to complete. When time crunched, try performing each exercise for one minute for a quick physical and mental boost.

Perform the following circuit continuously for twenty minutes.

Advanced:

• Sun Salutations
• Dive Bomber Pushups
• Squats
• Leg Levers and/or Sit-ups

Intermediate:

• Sun Salutations
• Hindu Pushups, or Lazy Dog Push-ups
• Squats or Half-Squats
• Sit-ups and/or Reverse Crunches

Basic:

• Sun Salutations
• Yoga Pushups or Knee Push-ups
  Yoga Push-ups: Transition between Upward Facing Dog and Downward Facing Dog continously while keeping your arms straight (but not locked).
• Half-Squats
• Crunches and/or Reverse Crunches

Rest as necessary between circuits.

Perform one set of each exercise before moving on to the next. Sets may be determined by repetitions, time, or fatigue. For example: an advanced trainee might perform each exercise for ten reps during each circuit, an intermediate trainee might perform each exercise for thirty seconds during each circuit, and a basic trainee migth perform each exercise until comfortably tired during each circuit.
