 "I love a flow in a workout," Hudoba says. "I want one movement to organically go to the next. We have 10 minutes together, so we have to make it effective."

Tip Prepare your body with a few dynamic warm-up exercises first. The Workout You’ll perform each exercise below for 60 seconds.

 Looking for a challenge? After you finish the circuit, take a 60-second break, then run through one or two more rounds, Hudoba says.

Reverse Lunge With Oblique Twist: Holding one end of the weight in each hand, drop into a reverse lunge and twist toward your front leg, contracting your core.
Pulse to Lunge: “If the weight ever becomes too much, my friends, drop your weight off to the side,” Hudoba says. “Let this be about the lower body.” Deadlift to Side Bend (Left): Hinge your chest forward and slide your glutes back, keeping your back flat and your weight in the left leg. Reverse Lunge to Balance (Left): To make this move more challenging, you can drive your rear knee to your chest as you stand up from your reverse lunge. Lunge With Side Bend (Left): Hold the bottom of your reverse lunge as you bend to your left with your dumbbell in your left hand. Runner’s Hop (Left): “Get explosive in this,” Hudoba says. But if that’s too much, you can simply drive your right knee up, keeping your left leg planted. Deadlift to Side Bend (Right): Hold your dumbbell close to your right leg, melting toward the ground. Reverse Lunge to Balance (Right): Focus on using your right leg to move your body from the reverse lunge to standing. Lunge With Side Bend (Right): “Pick a point of contact with your eyes,” Hudoba says. “Use that as your balance point.” Runner’s Hop (Right): Feel the power all the way through your toes as you drive your knee and fingertips up.
