Simply put, Circuit Training combines cardiovascular exercise with strength training in the same workout. A circuit can be made up of 3 or 4 exercises with a short rest in between each or up to as many as 9 or 10 exercises with a short rest in between for a chosen number of reps or certain period of time.
Pound for pound, I think this is one of the most effective types of training there is because you are able to elevate your HR for cardio and also tone muscle at the same time. Here are just a few benefits of Circuit Training:
- Burns fat
- Burn calories
- Tones muscle
- Increase flexibility
- great use of time
- variety of exercises
- create your own custom workout
- can be sport specific
- typically doesn’t require expensive equipment
- can use almost any size workout space
