What is Circuit Training?
Basically circuit training is done by performing one exercise after another (in a circuit, obviously). For example you might perform a set of squats followed by a set of upright rows followed by curls etc. Often people only consider weightlifting type exercises as part of circuit training, but other anaerobic/ aerobic work can be included. Exercises are often performed with little or no rest between them; however this should vary on the type of circuit you are completing. Why Circuit Train? There are many reasons to use circuit training including: • Time – circuits shorten gym sessions and are very time efficient. • Lean up – training with circuits in a particular way has been shown to get folks ripped.
