Circuit Workout
December 27, 2008
Sometimes when you are trying to figure out the best way to squeeze in a workout on a busy schedule, you may want to consider circuit training. This type of training will allow you to get the most out of your workout in the least amount of time.
You are actually working out on stations as opposed to touring the entire gym as usual. This will have you use lower amounts of weights and doing more repetitions with only a few seconds in between sets. Before beginning your set, make sure to choose the machines that you intend to use for each individual workout.
It is important to have organization to your session. After you have chosen the stations that you are going to be working out on, you then want to set a goal on how many reps you are going to do for each and keep to that number. The key is to do them in as short amount of time as possible. When working on your upper body, 25 to 30 reps is best to start and for the lower body try starting out with 15 to 20 reps to start.
When trying to decide the amount of weight to use, make sure that it is enough that you end up with fatigue at the end but not to much that you cannot complete the exercise. In order to recover in between sets, alternate from the upper to the lower part of your body. It is also important to make sure that you add exercises that will work the larger muscles such as squats and step ups.
Don’t lag between stations. You need to keep the pace and get to each station at least within 5 to 10 seconds between exercises. Keep to the number of reps that you have set for yourself.
Doing your workout as if it were a circuit will provide you with what you need and will save you a boat load of time. This is the type of workout that you can squeeze in during an hour lunch or even before you get to the job.
