Circuit Training
Circuit training is a fun and challenging form of resistance training. A circuit can be comprised of 8-12 stations. Each exercise is 1 minute in duration. One of the main challenges is that participants transition from one station to the next with little or no rest which keeps your heart rate elevated. The circuit is repeated 2-3 times with a two minute break between each round. This method of training is a great way to challenge yourself and modify your routine. Different props and equipment can be used for this type of training such as resistance bands, dumbbells, medicine balls, and stability balls. Circuit training is a great alternative for people that easily get bored at the gym. It's quick, intense, and fun!

ReplyDeleteThanks for the suggestion. You've just taken away one of my excuses for not exercising :)

Great advices. When you are working on improving your shape and achieving more challenging goals, nutrition is one of the key success factors. Most nutrients are received from food, though, in order to enhance my energy I am taking nutritional supplements. One of the best I have tried is Navy Seal Formula manufactured by MGNutritionas. It gives me incredible amount of energy and pushes me harder when I run. I see positive results in my endurance and strength.
