In the second Everesting Strength Circuit of the month we get to revisit an oldie but a goodie, a blend of two different exercises we have done but put together as one, and lastly a variation of a classic exercise. Enough of these hints and foreshadowing, let's take a closer look at the next circuit.

First we have “Forward Lunge into Back Lunge”. As the name suggests, we move from executing a forward lunge, directly into moving that same leg into a back lunge. This will be challenging balance, core strength and coordination- and its awesome! :) Of course all the benefits for the legs and glutes are there, and we take preparation for the Everesting Challenge to the next level.

Next we have our oldie but goodie- the Step-Up! The act of stepping up, and controlling the action of descending down is a very specific exercise we can all do to increase body strength and endurance for the Everesting Challenge. Perhaps this time around you might be able to increase the reps.you did the last time, and MAYBE even add some weights to your regime?!

Lastly, the third exercise included in the circuit takes the classic plank to another level.

Watch the video for further explanation, progressions, and modifications.

Please complete 3 rounds of the exercises in this circuit with the following reps:

• Forward Lunge into Back Lunge, 3 x 5-10 reps. each
• Step-Up’s, 3 x 5-10 reps. each
• Plank with Knee Tap, 3 x 5-10 alternating each side
