[Workout Plans] The 10 Minute Power Wake Up Workout Circuit

Wake up this morning with a massive flood of energy.

If you’re someone who craves the powerful benefits of an early AM workout — increased blood flow, heightened energy levels, enhanced cognitive acuity, and a big fat metabolism boost — yet doesn’t have the time, energy, or sanity to drudge into the gym, don’t give up just yet.

We’ve got a practical, schedule-friendly solution that’ll inject you back into the early morning workout game — The 10 Minute Power Wake Up Workout Circuit. In just under 10 minutes this high-intensity, no rest, 7-exercise circuit will turbocharge your metabolism, open the vascular flood gates, and provide an invigorating surge of energy that’ll help you crush the day ahead.

With a minimal time commitment and no “wahhh, it’s cold outside!” excuses in play, it’s impossible to say no. You can even do it naked if that’s your style. Or in your PJs.

It’s physical coffee. And it’s free — no gym or equipment required other than a carpet/towel/exercise mat.
