Circuit training is my absolute favorite method of fitness training! Circuits can be developed successfully for those wishing to lose weight, fitness, improving athletic performance and recovery from injury. The fast-paced and constantly changing workouts provide a different kind of stimulus to the body and keep my customers are bored with your workouts.

The routine training professionally designed circuit can be completely customized to give you exactly what you want. If you are a beginner to fitness, recovering from an injury and return to the gym, or an athlete elite seeking to improve their particular sport, the circuits can be designed to emphasize strength, endurance, speed, weight loss, agility, balance, or any other aspect of your fitness that is important to you.

Traditionally, the format of circuit training using a group of 6-10 exercise "stations", you finish a right-intensity exercise after another on the beating heart! Each exercise is performed for a certain number of repetitions or by a prescribed time period before moving to the next exercise.

The exercises within each circuit are separated by an interval of rest short (10-30 seconds), with each circuit followed by a timed rest period of 60 seconds or more. The total number of circuits made by the exercise session will vary depending on your goals of fitness and training level (beginner, intermediate or advanced).

My suggested guidelines when Circuit Training

* A warm up should be low to moderate intensity for 8-10 minutes. Follow with stretching of all major muscle groups

* Exercise circuit 2-3x per week, leaving at least 48 hours between each session.

* Select 6-8 sessions for each year.

* Organize your stations exercise (or) so that they alternate between muscle groups (ie, triceps falls followed by squats), and work each muscle group during the sessions.

* Perform 10-12 repetitions of each exercise using a weight that is challenging yet allows you to perform each repetition with perfect form.

* Leave an appropriate time to cool for 8-10 minutes at the end of training.

* Honestly consider your level of fitness! If you have never done any work before the circuit (even if you think you are fit and in shape), be conservative. Muscle pain, joint pain and increase the likelihood of injury will be the result if you push yourself harder than your body is ready for.
