Ever had the desire to lose weight and tone-up? Perhaps you've even wanted to lose inches around your hips and waist and add muscular definition to your arms, legs, abs and butt. Well, this can be done! Use the following blueprint to accomplish your goals and get in the best shape of your life.
A person's body composition is comprised by the amount of fat, muscle and bone in their bodies. And because muscular tissue takes up less space than fatty tissue, two people of identical height and weight may look completely different because they have a different body composition. So how can you develop a leaner, stronger, more toned physique? By circuit training!
Circuit Training is done by combining a series of exercises for different muscle groups and performing one after the other, with minimal rest. The number of exercises and repetitions performed can be manipulated to enhance the desired effect.
An example of a traditional circuit is:
Pushups
Body Weight Lunges
Plank
Jump Rope
For individuals looking to lose fat and increase lean muscle mass, I would recommend performing 12-15 repetitions for each exercise.
When building circuits, be sure to include exercises that will target and train each of the seven muscle groups: legs, core, biceps, triceps, chest, back and shoulders. And over time, continue to re-introduce new challenges into your workout by adding different exercises to your routine.

Be Well,
Jake
