If you are looking to keep fit or you have already been training for a while and you need to add more variety into your training then, I have a great exercise routine for you.
This is simple to do and you won't need any expensive fancy equipment or expensive gym fees to do it.
The exercise I am talking about is circuits or to be more official circuit training. This is one of the most effective exercise routines that will give you a total all over body workout. It builds strength, power and agility in to your body. It will also improve your cardiovascular health.
Circuits are easy to do and they can be done in the backyard of your home or around the office block when you are in work.
The exercise consists of a number of stations or stopping points. Each of these stopping points represents a different exercise routine that needs to be completed. Each station is separated by a distance of 5 to 10 metres. If you have more space then you can increase the distance if you want or if you want to push yourself at little bit more - remember the further away each station, the more you will be pushed.
Each exercise must be completed within a set time once it is completed you sprint to the next station to begin the exercise. You are not supposed to stop until each station is completed and you regime is done.
You can learn more about specific circuit training programmes for you here at this site which has a lot of free guides and videos.
You can do as many of the circuits as you possibly can. When you finish you will know that you have had a good workout. To be effective the exercises should be a mixture of cardio and strength training. These can include sit ups, crunches, arm curls using dumbbells etc. For doing exercises such as the sit-ups use a exercise or yoga mat. To get you started the following exercise is a great addition to your circuit training.
The push-up
This is a classic exercise that simply works. Push ups are an excellent way to build upper body strength. However, many people do them wrong. If you do not get the technique right it will not be as effective. To do push ups properly you begin by lying with your front body flat on an even surface. Support your body with your arms, your palms are flat on the floor and your toes. The key thing is to keep your back and legs perfectly straight, no bending towards the floor or you run the risk of serious lower back injury.
Begin by lowering your chest towards the ground until your chin is about one inch from the surface. Then raise your body up to the starting position. Avoid locking your arms, and repeat as many times as is comfortable, do too many and you risk injury, steady progress is all you need for this one.
If you have a health condition always consult with your doctor first before you engage in any new type of exercise and seek professional advice from a qualified trainer.
You may want to invest in a cheap exercise mat, these can be bought for about $3, have a look at this site as they have a large range to suit.
