April 8, 2020
SWEAT Trainer, Chontel Duncan, can help you to unleash your inner warrior with her unique and upbeat training style. Her FIERCE programs in the SWEAT app incorporate high-intensity training like AMRAP (as many reps/rounds as possible) and Tabata, strength training, boxing and Muay Thai, and you’ll be challenged with different workouts every week.
FIERCE at Home is Chontel’s first home-based SWEAT program and can be completed in conjunction with FIERCE when you can’t get to the gym, or when you simply want to mix up your program with at-home bodyweight exercises.
For women who want to try a hybrid training style, you can do FIERCE at Home with minimal equipment, loads of variety and great results all in the privacy of your own home.
Here’s a heart pumping speed circuit workout from Week 3 of FIERCE at Home that will get you huffing and puffing.
Are you ready?
Elevate your heart rate with this speed circuit workout
Speed circuit is a form of HIIT, where you alternate between work and rest phases. The goal during each work phase is to complete as many reps as you can in the allocated time, similar to an EMOM (every minute on the minute) style workout.
Your aim is to push yourself hard to get your heart rate right up, as there’s only short work time in each phase — there are two exercises to complete and you do this consecutively with 20 seconds AMRAP of the first exercise, a five-second changeover, then 20 seconds AMRAP of the second exercise and a 15-second rest break. This is repeated for five laps, until you move onto the next circuit.
This HIIT workout has five circuits that will take you about 30 minutes, excluding your warm up and cool down — it’s fast and explosive, so time won’t be on your side!
In FIERCE at Home, the speed circuit is an optional workout until Week 6, then it becomes part of your weekly goals.
If you’re up for a challenge, grab a set of dumbbells, your gym towel, drink bottle and get ready for a killer full body workout.
