We’ve taken the guesswork out of your training routine for the past 5 weeks!

If you’ve missed out on weeks 1-4, catch them here:

Week 1 | Week 2 | Week 3 | Week 4

Week 5

Burn massive amounts of calories and strengthen your entire body with our high intensity workout. Keep challenging your body for even better results! You’ve had 4 weeks to learn and master these moves, now it’s time to give it your all and finish off our fifth week strong!

How to perform week 5
We’ve set up 4 stations of workouts, which makes up 1 circuit. Each station comprises of 2 moves, which you have to perform as a superset, followed by a “finisher”.

(Superset: Perform the 1st exercise as directed, immediately followed by the 2nd exercise for the required reps. That’s 1 set)

Once you’re finished with the superset at station 1, wait 1 minute and move on to station 2. Complete all 4 stations of supersets to finish 1 circuit. And wait 2-3 minutes before completing more rounds.

Depending on your level, complete 3–4 rounds of this circuit. Remember form over function. If you struggle with an exercise, rather reduce the weight used to ensure proper form. We’ve provided you with 2 workouts, spread these at least 2 days apart.

Very important; do a sufficient warm up and activation exercises prior to this workout.
