Fitness Circuit Training Routines

A circuit training workout is an exercise format in which you perform several exercises back to back with little or no rest between sets. Once the fitness circuit training workout is completed, the process is then repeated.
See workouts below.

The exercises themselves could be anaerobic (i.e. weights), aerobic (i.e. cardio), or a combination of both, meaning you could perform an exercise for legs, followed by an exercise for arms, followed by an exercise for chest, and so on.

Circuit training exercises can focus on one muscle group or any combination of muscle groups, including a full body workout. They can be an excellent way to compliment your existing workout routine. Try these circuit weight training workouts and get ready to feel the burn.

Fitness Circuit Training Benefits

There are several benefits to a circuit training workout.

• You can accomplish a great deal of work in a short amount of time.
• By keeping an elevated heart rate throughout the circuit training workout, you are burning a substantial amount of calories during the workout itself, which will help you lose weight.
• You can combine a circuit weight training workout and a cardiovascular workout in one training session, killing two birds with one stone.
• Perhaps most importantly, exercising in this fashion will raise your anaerobic threshold. This is the time when the demand for oxygen can no longer be met by oxygen consumption. You simply run out of breath. Working at, or near, your anaerobic threshold will increase your body's efficiency at burning oxygen, thereby raising your cardiovascular endurance level.

Circuit training routines are a great way to break the boredom of typical resistance training. This is one of my favorite techniques and one I use frequently with my own clients. Try an at home circuit training workout to save time and help you get to your fitness goals that much quicker.
