Each circuit has two exercises. You will perform 10 reps of the first exercise and your partner has to do the other exercise for however long it takes you to finish the first. Once you have finished your 10 reps, your partner is done. Then, you switch.
The goal is to get as many rounds done as you can in 5 minutes. Here are the three circuits:

Circuit #1

- Plank
Circuit #2

-Jump Jacks
Circuit #3
