In a perfect world, everyone would have at least 60 minutes a day, 6 days a week to doing nothing except workout! But unfortunately, life happens. So how do you get the best overall workout (bang) in the shortest amount of time (buck)? By CIRCUIT TRAINING!
A circuit training workout consists of a series of resistance training exercises that an individual performs, one after the other, with minimal/no rest. By doing so, you're not only strengthening your muscles but you're getting a cardiovascular workout as well!
An example of a full-body circuit would include:
Dumbbell Chest Press on a Swiss Ball
Alternating Dumbbell Bicep Curls
Body Weight Squats on a Bosu Ball
Barbell Shoulder Press
Cable Triceps Extension
Hip Bridges
Cable Lat Pulldowns
Crunches
Feel free to experiment with different circuits. By mixing and matching different exercises with increased/decreased set and rep numbers, you'll continually introduce new challenges to your body and keep your workouts fresh!
If you're looking for a recommendation to get started, I would recommend doing 3 sets of the circuit above performing 12-15 repetitions for each exercise.
As always, please don't hesitate to email me if questions arise.
Best Regards,
