Circuit Training for Weight Loss
Bored of the same weight loss workouts? Try a circuit!
Circuit Training BLASTS Fitness Levels
One thing I love about circuit training is the effect it has on your fitness. Weight loss is made so much easier when you are fit and strong.
Circuits can be done by both beginners and advanced trainers and the same circuit can be used by everyone; just adapt it to your fitness levels.
They are great because they work out your whole body while keeping intencity levels high and your heart rate up. So, you can lose weight, build fitness and add muscle at the same time.
Professional Sports People use Circuits
Many pro sports - football, boxing, gridiron, etc. - use circuits. They are perfect for building both endurance and explosive fitness and thus perfect for many athletes.
Circuit One
This is an excellent beginner circuit and can be done by anyone of moderate fitness levels. It is a full body workout and will keep your heart rate up as well as burning all your muscles.
Warm up first.
1. Jumping Squat (30 - 60 seconds)
10 seconds break
2. Push Up (30 - 60)
10 seconds break
3. Sit up Twists (30 - 60)
10 seconds break
4. Chin Up or Bent over Row (30 - 60)
10 seconds break
5. Over head press (30 - 60)
10 seconds rest
REPEAT WHOLE WORKOUT TO SUIT FITNESS LEVELS
This is a similar circuit I used in pre season soccer training and it got me ripped and very fit.
I will be posting alternative circuits as I try them. Does anyone have any that they have used that they would like to share?

| Tara said: | I do this for cardio when I want a change of pace, you will sweat bullets. First round is 25 each, second 20 each, third 15 each. You can choose your own reps: -Jumping Jacks -Push Ups -Running Knee Lifts (Run in place bringing knees to hip level) -Jump Scissor lunges -Mountain Climbers (on a step or bench, assume push up position and hike knees into chest, alternate as fast speed) -Running Ham Curls (Run in place bringing heels to your butt) -Jump Squats on bench -March Rest for 30 seconds and repeat two more times. Awesome sweat! |
