By Tony Ekaidem. You wake up in the morning an hour later than you should and now you have less than 30 minutes to squeeze in a workout, but you want to get both strength and cardio benefits, so what do you do? The options are: (1) You can tell yourself 20 minutes is not enough time for a decent workout, (2) You can lift like crazy for ten minutes, then run like crazy for 10 minutes, or (3) You can use circuit training, which can offer you strength and cardio benefits in a short period of time. If you don’t have much time to exercise, circuit training is a great way to switch up your workout. This style of strength training is typically very appealing to women, because you are less likely to get bored with the routine, you don’t have to lift very heavy weights and the workouts don’t feel as much like traditional, bodybuilding type of strength training. I have below a 20 minute full body circuit workout that you can give a try. 20 Minute Circuit Training Workout: (Repeat 5 times, no rest between sets, 30seconds rest in between each circuit) 1. Plie Squat with DB Upright Row, 15 reps 2. Single arm DB Reverse Lunge, 20 total reps  3. Medicine Ball or DB Twists, 20 reps below are different variations of the same exercise, pick the one you like! 4. Pushups, to failure  If your shoulders are weak, do knee pushups or wall pushups These variations are way much difficult but yield great results!   5. DB Snatch For more details about the workout, tips etc, drop a note on my site www.tonyekaidem.com Hope you enjoy the workout!
