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?
