Circuit Train For Incredible Fitness Results
While heavy dieting or cardio will help you lose some pounds, they will not give you a healthy looking and functioning body. Circuit training, on the other hand works well for this. It’s a type of training that involves rotating through a set number of exercises with minimal rest in between, hitting all major muscle groups for a quick, yet highly effective, full-body workout.
You’ll notice increased strength and endurance, reduced body fat, increased lean muscle, better heart health, balance and stability.
Whether you work the upper body, lower body, or total body, focus on using weights. Check out the example workout below for a total-body, circuit-training experience. Move from exercise to exercise quickly, and take a minute to rest at the end of each round. Then start the next set.Â
Here are the exercises in video demonstrations…
1. Squat + Curl
2. Pushups
3. DB Row + Fly
4. DB Bench/Box Step-Ups
5. Lunge + Front Raise
6. Renegade Rows
7. Incline DB Press
8. Bench Dips
9. Plank Shoulder Touches
Try to get in about 3-4 total-body, circuit-training workouts weekly. You can break them up into upper body, lower body, or whole body. Even just just 20 to 30 minutes works good as long as you're really pushing yourself.
Have fun with this routine!
