7. Abdominal crunches
8. Disc raises (5-10kg disc weight)
9. medicine ball squats
10. Shuttle runs (jogging pace)

Perform the circuit 3 times using 3 time zones per station. So do it once with 15 seconds per station and no rest between the exercises. Then take a 1-2 minute break and go again, this time for 30 seconds per station and then take another 1-2 minute rest. For the final circuit either stick at 30 seconds or go back to 15 seconds per station depending on your fitness level and energy levels. Before you move onto the next circuit take a 2 minute break and get some water.
