Spartacus Workout

This is a GREAT at-home workout. I've been doing it 3 times per week as my strength/resistance training... However, give it a shot and you'll notice it'll give you quite a dose of cardio as well!

You will need: Several sets of dumbbells of various weights (5, 9, 12, 15, 20, etc.) and a visible clock. I always wear my watch, but it's nice to have a BIG wall clock (with seconds) you can watch.

Perform the exercise as a circuit, that is, perform all 10 exercise one time through. Take a 2 minute break and then repeat. Do this twice for a total of 3 circuits. Perform each move for 60 seconds, completing as many reps as possible. Take a 15 second "break" between each exercise to change weights and transition into the next exercise.

1- Goblet Squats
2- Mountain Climbers (or hold a plank for 60 seconds)
3- Single Arm Dumbbell Swing
4-  T-Pushups
5- Split Jumps
6- Dumbbell Rows
7- Dumbbell Side Lunges
8- Pushup Position Row (if this is too difficult, omit the push-up portion of the move)
9- Dumbbell Lunge with Rotation
10- Dumbbell Push Press

Notes
This workout is from The Women's Health Big Book of Exercises, which I highly recommend! Ever head to the gym with a few moves in mind, but get bored of doing the same moves or working on the same machines? I always have it in my gym bag and have followed several of their suggested workouts - all of which are serious butt-kickers!
