Circuit Training

In the last post I mentioned circuit training and said it would be discussed later so hopefully this gives you an understanding of it. Circuit training combines resistance training and high-intensity aerobics. When one circuit is complete, you begin the first exercise again for another circuit. The time between exercises is short, usually just the movement to get to the next exercise. Here are some advantages of circuit training. It provides a whole body workout and does not require expensive gym equipment. For anybody that doesn't go to a gym and wants new workout ideas for home here are a few that can be used in circuit training. Bodyweight circuit training workout

• Stand in a X position with legs spread out and arms up in the air and do squats. 15 reps
• Do push-ups. 15 reps
• Standing in the same spot do lunges with a pause at the bottom. 15 reps
• Do push-ups with the legs elevated so put your feet on a chair or couch. These will be more difficult then the first set of push-ups. 15 reps
• Do jumping jacks. 15 reps
• Do mountain climbers. Get in a plank position and bring one leg forward to the chest with the toe on the ground. 12-15 reps each side

Do this entire workout and then repeat it again and again. These are just some ideas to get you started. The great thing about circuit training is you can change it up to whatever works best for you. Get the heart pumping and burn some fat.
