The Workout Routine

Before you begin, make sure to warm up with some light cardio exercises such as jogging in place or jumping jacks.

1. Exercise 1: Jump Squats - Start with your feet shoulder-width apart, squat down, and explode into a jump. Land softly and immediately go into the next squat. Repeat for 30 seconds.

2. Exercise 2: Reverse Lunges - Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart. Step your right foot back and lower your body into a lunge position. Push through your left heel to return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. Alternate for 30 seconds.

3. Exercise 3: Glute Bridge - Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Lift your hips off the ground, squeezing your glutes at the top. Lower back down and repeat for 30 seconds.

4. Exercise 4: Side Lunges - Stand with your feet wider than hip-width apart. Shift your weight to one side and lower into a side lunge. Push through your heel to return to the starting position. Repeat on the other side. Alternate for 30 seconds.

5. Exercise 5: Fire Hydrants - Start on all fours with your hands under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Lift one leg out to the side, keeping it bent at a 90-degree angle. Lower back down and repeat on the other side. Alternate for 30 seconds.

After completing all five exercises, take a 30-second break and then repeat the circuit for a total of three rounds.

Make sure to cool down with some stretching exercises to prevent muscle soreness.
