Basically the definition of a circuit is continuously going from one exercise to another in a circular format. You can get creative with the circuits. For example, do a cardio circuit, a strength circuit or some combination of both. A sample cardio circuit might include marching in place, jumping rope, shadow boxing and stepping up and down on a step. A sample strength workout can work opposing muscle groups, i.e. quads, hams; biceps, triceps; chest, back, etc. Or you can work an upper body exercise then a lower body exercise, i.e. squats, shoulder press; lunges, lateral raise, and so on. A cardio and strength workout would be some combination thereof. You might do a few strengthening exercises and then spend two minutes on a cardio station. Circuit training is only limited by your creativity! Kelli Calabrese – MS, CSCS, 2004 Personal Trainer of the Year. Kelli is a Clinical Exercise Physiologist and 20 year fitness industry leader.
