Every month, Caroline Idiens – better known by the name of her wildly successful fitness platform, Caroline’s Circuits – coaches around 6,500 women in midlife to get fitter and stronger than ever. Her method is simple: at-home circuits, like the 15-minute full-body session below.
It’s formed of the ‘seven essential exercises for women aged 40+,’ Idiens says. ‘These exercises have made a significant difference to me in my own fitness and strength – I see them all as key components to daily functional movement. They can all be adapted for every level, with bodyweight to start and then adding weights as you progress.’ Here’s how to do it, and what makes each exercise so beneficial.
