Circuit Training

Circuit training is a combination of high-intensity aerobics and resistance training designed to be easy to follow and target fat loss, muscle building and heart fitness. An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first exercise again for another circuit. Traditionally, the time between exercises in circuit training is short, often with rapid movement to the next exercise.

A good circuit training course works the different sections in the body individually. A good example of a circuit may be:

Arms - Pull-up (exercise)
Abs - sit ups
Legs - step ups
Arms - shoulder press
Abs - Elbows and Toes (plank)
Legs - Burpees
