Group Fitness Centennial Park, Sydney – Workout of the week Pad Circuit

Wednesday, April 1st, 2009

For this workout, we used the kick pads for every exercise, but not for kicking… We realised that the size, shape and weight of a kick pad can be a very useful tool in circuit training.

30 squat press
60 mountain climbers
20 jump over pad with a push up in between
1 set of each x 3

300 metre run with the pad overhead


Switch feet around pad – 30 seconds clockwise, 30 seconds anti-clockwise
Lunge with lateral twist – 1 minute each leg
Sit up to place pad on shins, sit up to take pad away – 20 of each
1 set of each x 3

300 metre run with the pad overhead


Slide pad out to plank and jump to crouching position – 1 min
Good mornings wiht pad on back of shoulders – 1 minute
Squeeze legs together to hold pad in the air and perform 50 crunches
1 set of each x 3
