Upper Body + Plyo Workout
You’ll notice that the number of reps you’re completing stay the same. Keep things simple, but focus on form and challenge yourself! Each circuit pairs an upper body exercise with a super-sweaty plyometric exercises that will get your heart rate up! Take breaks as needed and honor your body. If you keep things moving and give yourself a one-minute break at the end of each round, this workout should take you approximately 20 minutes to complete.
Below you will find exercise demos of each exercise in the three circuits.
CIRCUIT ONE:
- Burpees
CIRCUIT TWO:
CIRCUIT THREE:

Ooh this is a good one! Would be great to try in my HIIT class I teach as well!
I really like this one! Pinning for later!
LOVE at home workouts! i don’t have any time to go to the gym anymore! now it’s when william is playing (or watching and laughing and imitating me) or when he’s sleeping!
I love this workout! I definitely neglect my upper body sometimes. PiYo is helping with that- I’m going to try to throw this workout in this evening as well!
What a great one! I love to hate plank jacks 🙂
Hey Julie! Do you have any recommendations for the plank rows so your hands don’t hurt? I don’t know if I’m holding the Dumbbells incorrectly but it always ends up hurting the “ball” of my hand(it even swells up!)
I have the same problem! I will often just place the hand that’s not doing the row flat on the floor while the other one is completing the row!
I actually like burpees, crazy I know but they sure get the heart rate up!
I really like this set! It’s seems super quick which is always a plus for me. I can’t really do burpees though – they seems to put a lot of impact on my hip and knee joints and I’m always sensitive to that (one of the reasons I don’t run).
Woof! I’m looking at 15 burpees for 3 minutes… but I trust you, girl!! Looking forward to trying this out as one of my home workouts! Though I’ll have to purely be focusing on my form for plank rows in minute three I’m certain, especially after tricep dips. Modifications for the win! 😉
Thanks for passing along!
Workouts that combine strength and cardio are my favorite 🙂 Thanks for sharing a quick workout that pairs well with the new playlist that you shared!
I love this! I’m really into circuit workouts right now–which I will probably comment on your TILF list tomorrow 😉
Looks like a great workout. Squat jumps are so tough for me!
I can just imagine the burn from this one

Just finished this. Dead ?
WOOP! I always feel a little more validated when YOU tell me a workout is hard. 🙂 Superstarrr. And can we please go back to the days of doing TaeBo in our dorm room?
Woot woot! Just did this for my early morning workout! It was so great and so fast! The minute rounds I couldn’t even get the cardio part in…I guess it takes me a long time to do 15 bicep curls to overhead presses! Ha thank you Julie!!
Great workout! Love plank rows, I literally feel those all week post workout!
