Is Circuit Training Good for Beginners?
Yes: work with a certified trainer to make sure you are doing the exercise correctly and safely. If you are healthy but have not exercised in a while, start with a realistic goal of 20 to 25 minutes. This might mean stretching for five minutes by biking or walking. Next, plan to only do three to five different types of exercises—but still do them neatly and without any rushing or “cheating.” At the end of your last set, cool down with an easy walk for five minutes and gentle stretching. How Can I lose Weight with Circuit Training? Design a sensible exercise program by tracking it on paper. Using a simple notebook, write out your goal weight and determine that you must burn 3,500 calories to lose one pound. A safe goal is to lose about one to two pounds per week. Do not exceed more than two pounds a week, unless you are under direct supervision of a physician. This means if you exercise for 30 minutes (doing circuit training twice a week), you might burn in the range of 300 to 450 calor
