    Hey thanks for the circuit. Sometimes I only have about 20 minutes in the morning to get a workout in so this is perfect. I'm going to do it tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

    Just printed it out. I look forward to trying it. I know it will work because I had a trainer in 2008 who had us doing circuits similar to this.
