    If you haven’t made the most of the on-site gym during your time at [IconInc](https://www.iconinc.co.uk/), it’s not too late! Seize the day and start simple with this circuit training workout, recommended by our Leeds-based PT, Joe, from [Motive8](http://www.m8north.co.uk/). Circuit training is quick so you can cram a workout in before a day of lectures and it’ll do wonders for your general fitness levels. All you need is a floor mat. Joe recommends placing yourself near the mirrors so you can easily check that you’re doing each exercise right.

    1. Press ups

    You can’t go far wrong with press ups so start your circuit with 10 – 15, depending on your current fitness level. There are two ways to do a press up, you can either do a full press up (where you’re resting on the palms of your hands and your toes) or you can drop on to your knees, instead of your toes, to make this exercise a bit easier. This shortens the angle of your body and lessens the weigh that you’ll be pushing up. If you’re unsure how to set up for an effective press up, here are some pointers: * Facing down, set your hands just slightly wider than your shoulder width apart. * There’s no right or wrong when it comes to your feet so do what feels comfortable for you. * Try to keep your body as straight as possible throughout.
