Make your training a little more animalistic and take your body well outside it’s comfort zone, challenging it in new ways that will improve mobility, pump up your muscles and supercharge calorie burn.

The names might sound silly, but the benefits on offer are no laughing matter. Dedicate just 15 minutes three times a week and inject your training with some roar power using this circuit from Third Space’s, Adrien Lambert.
