Circuit training.

[ad]

week i intend to do CIRCUIT TRAINING instead of the usual weight training.

This type of training can be versatile and it moves quickly because you’re going from one exercise to another instead of doing continuous cardio or straight set training with weights. You can do all strength circuits, all cardio circuits or a mixture of the two for a challenging, calorie-burning workout.

Circuit training combines 8-10 exercises that are completed one right after the other, with little or no rest in between. Perform each exercise for a specified time (like 1 minute), rest for no more than 30 seconds before moving on to the next exercise. Once you complete all exercises, that is considered one circuit. The total number of circuits you complete is up to you. For beginners, start with 30 seconds per exercise and increase the time as you get stronger. Another way to progress is to shorten your rest in between exercises and circuits. :)

To start, use the following criteria for choosing your exercises:

1. Pick exercises to work each muscle group.
2. Include exercises for agility and endurance (like jumping side-to-side over a phone book)
3. Don’t forget to work on your speed too. Incorporate sprints (if you can) or fast jogging in place.

Circuit training is great for beginners just getting started,because it allows you to build some total body strength while also working on your endurance. This can be great for a number of sports as long as you perform exercises specifically for what you want to accomplish.

Regardless of your goals, circuit training can be a great workout simply because of the variety. Running on a treadmill for 30 minutes or doing the same old machines can get boring over time. If you find you’re losing interest in your routine or that you’ve hit a plateau, think circuit training.

So this week… this is what i have come up with.

Warm up 10- 15 min.

1- Squat with lateral raise. – 1 min

2- Jumping rope- Both feet off the floor at same time.- 1 min

3- Push Up (choose your option, full push up or half push up) – 1 min

4- Star Jump/Jumping Jack – 1 min

5- Plank leg lift- 30 sec on each leg.

* Start in full/on knees push up position keeping the hip,shoulder square and tuck your abs in. Remember wearing the belt as i mentioned last week, yup exactly that you need to do”  Advance level- do this on exercise ball.

6-3 min Run

7-Tricep Dips- 1 min

8-Bicep Curl- 1 min

9-Side to side jump- 1 min

10-Alternate lunges- 1 min

11-Abs Crunches- 1 min

Rest 1 min before the next set workout .

Repeat workout for another round or cool down. You can do this workout 2 – 3 set per workout.

Remember, always do it at your own pace, intensity and level. At the end of the workout STRETCH, STRETCH and STRETCH :)
