Circuit training is a form of conditioning combiningresistance training and high-intensityaerobics. It is designed to be easy to follow and target strength building as well as muscular endurance. 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.
Let's be honest. Long, slow cardio stinks. If you want to burn fat fast while building muscle, bodyweight circuit training is the way to go. This is the fastest, most efficient way for you to burn the fat, build the muscle and get the lean hard body that you've always wanted.
Don't under estimate the simplicity of this workout. Some time the simplest things are the most effective. Make sure that you warm up with some arm swings, push ups, squats, and lunges. Ready? Here we go:
We'll start off with 25 jumping jacks, just like you did in your gym class when you were a kid. One variation to this might be seal jacks, with your arms moving parallel to the ground rather than up in the air.
Next we'll move to 25 Hindu push ups. This is not only great for the upper body but is also a great stretch for the back and legs. If you can't handle Hindu push ups do standard ones and if standard push ups are too hard, do them kneeling.
Now lets move on to 10 burpees. If you have problems with impact leave out the jump and if you are a thrill seeker you can substitute 8-count bodybuilders.
Next put your feet up on a chair or a step and crank off 10 incline push ups. If you are absolutely spent from the earlier pushups, do as many as you can.
Move on to one of my favorite exercises, Hindu squats. You'll need to do 25 of them. Well that's it, right? Wrong! For the next 15 minutes you are going to be repeating this sequence. Get ready to sweat. When you're done put this one in your bag of tricks so you can reap the benefits for years to come.
