subject: How to Do Circuit Training for Women [print this page] For most of the women, the ultimate desire is to stay fit and slim, and for that they make a number of plans in their heads which don't usually materialize. The reasons could be several, such as hardly being able to take out time to simple laziness.
To start up with any plan, it is very important to be properly motivated. If motivation does not exist, one may start with working towards a goal but not be able to stick on the path for long. This is why motivation is the basic requirement here too. Moreover, if you enjoy doing a task, you will definitely make all the efforts in the world to give it ample time.
Circuit training is one gift for all those women who seek fitness and a slim figure. However, it requires one to be motivated and determined to follow a plan, as only then positive results can be found. Circuit training involves one to engage in a variety of exercise at one time, one set after another. One is not supposed to take a break in between. This contributes in the reduction of fat from women's bodies, and promotes their vascular health making their bodies leaner.
To begin with circuit training you first need to start with a couple of simple exercises which would warm up the body and pump up your heart. Such exercises include step ups and jumping jacks.
You may then start working on your biceps with the help of dumbbells. Make sure not to use too heavy weight dumbbells as you might end up with a sprain or a muscles pull, making all your exercise plans go down the drain. While you are holding dumbbells, start lunges of your legs side by side. As soon as you finish doing this, start with jumping over a jumping rope for one minute.
The best way to keep your arms and chest in shape is to do push ups. For a beginner, it is wise to start with knees, while someone who has practice can carry it off well on their toes.
To end the program for the day, you can do crunches to keep your belly in shape and squats, around 10-20 times.
