Her routine: AMRAP “As many reps as possible” is a strategy that asks you to complete a circuit as many times as you can within a given time frame. “You’re always moving, and because you need to keep going for the allotted interval, it’s a mental and physical challenge.” Warm up for a few minutes and give yourself time to cool down afterward, says Valenzuela. Do any of these circuits for 15 minutes.
