This is a great movement workout. It’s perfect to get things loosened up!
There are four movements here:
1. Leg lift, also know as a Frankenstein. – Lifting the leg straight out in front while keeping the leg as straight as possible. This movement is great for tight hamstrings and will really benefit someone who sits a lot for work.
2. Knee raise – basically marching in place one leg at a time making sure to get the leg as high as possible.
3. Pick up and press – when performing this move pay close attention to your foot placement. You want to focus on keeping your feet planted on the ground and not rolling forward or backward. Also driving your hips back to maintain a relatively flat back or neutral spine.
4. Knee tuck – This move is done in a push up position and the knee is being lifted towards the chest, think of someone marching in place but with their hands on the ground. this move can also be done against the wall at an angle or a person could march in place instead.
Have fun!
And as always remember – Stay Motivated!

Hi Drew,
I tried the Super Awesome Circuit Workout. I like the windmills love watching you all do the workout. I will definitely be doing yoga or something different Monday. Had to laugh Brittany and Delia do those reverse lunges and burpee’s with ease. I was quite happy to be in my office with no audience lol.
Two comments: first, this work out description promised to loosen me up, but my abs are anything but loose during those knee tucks! Good stuff. Also, I love being able to squeeze a work out in whenever I have a little downtime. It keeps me motivated!
