So this past weekend I got myself 22lb kettle bell, a 9lb medicine ball, and an aerobic step. I already have a mini stepper, a jump rope, and a set of 5 and 10lb weights. So after adding to my gym equipment I decided to make myself a circuit. I do Zumba pretty much daily and I wanted to amp it up by adding weights to my routine to strengthen, lean down, and of course an extra calorie burn through gaining muscles. I will be doing this circuit 3 times a week but am A) not sure how to input it calorie wise and B) if I should make an additional circuit for 2 other days of the week but with different muscles groups being more focused on...if so then suggestions for that? I find that the muscles that are the sorest are hamstrings, triceps and sometimes my abs. So below is my circuit, tell me what you think and how you think I should log it...and of course if there are any further suggestions.

5 minutes mini-step warm-up

Raised arm push-ups
Tricep dips
Butt kicks
Jumping jacks
Medicine ball toe touch

Lunge twist w/medicine ball
Kettle bell dead lifts
Toe touch on step
High knees
V-ups with medicine ball

Squat pull-ups with kettle bells
Bicep curl w/ dumbbell
Jabs
Step on step off on step
Russian twist w/medicine ball

Chest press with dumbbells
Tricep extensions with medicine ball
Mountain climbers
Jump rope
Bicycle abs

Cool-Down

    How long do you perform each exercise for? And how much rest inbetween exercises and also sets?

    Looks a good, varied routine to me! x

    Each exercise is performed for a length of 1 minute. There is no rest between exercises except for just changing exercises. I do this only once through since I do each exercise for a minute I am pretty tired by the end. Whole workout without warm-up and cool-down is 20 minutes.
