The Total Body Ladder Workout

Author: Loren Bakker

If you find yourself a little bored with the regular HIIT type circuits, give this one a go!
Why we love it…Simple movements performed back to back to create an awesome whole body burn with the addition of cardio coach calls to keep your members on their toes, and take their minds of their working muscles!
Switch up the exercises and reps to make it your own or use ours.
EQUIPMENT – Benches and Dumbells or Barbells.

Split your group between the upper and lower circuit, once completed switch them over.
Once complete, your whole group performs the core circuit together.

Do 10 of each exercise then take a 10 -15 second rest. Next set do 9, rest, then 8 etc. Once on 5,4,3,2,1 complete back to back no rest.
