Circuit Training-
This week we will be focusing on circuit training. Circuit training is a workout method that involves rotating through several different exercises for a certain amount of time or number of repetitions, with little to no rest. You go from one exercise station to another, targeting various muscle groups.
Here are some key points about circuit training:
1) In circuit training, you move through a sequence of up to 10 exercises, each focusing on different muscle groups. You complete a set of exercises for a specific number of repetitions or a set amount of time. Then, without much rest, you swiftly transition to the next exercise station.
2) Time-Efficient: An entire circuit session can usually be completed in just 30–45 minutes. So, if you’re short on time but want an effective workout, circuit training is a great choice. 3) Increased Strength: Circuit training targets both upper and lower body muscles, helping boost overall strength.
4) Weight Loss: By combining strength and cardiovascular exercises, circuit training aids in improving body composition—building muscle and shedding fat.
