Circuit training is an excellent way to simultaneously

improve mobility, strength, and stamina. The circuit training

workout is composed of five different circuits, each having

strength/cardio exercises that are completed one right after the other, with no rest in between. Perform one set of an exercise for a specific number of repetitions (or period of time) and then move on to the next exercise. When you have finished one set of each exercise in a circuit, you start back at the beginning of the circuit and repeat the exercises until you have completed the circuit three times.

For example, circuit one might include three sets each of squats, shoulder presses, and basic crunches. You should complete one set (consisting of 10 reps) of squats, fol owed by one set of shoulder presses and then one set of basic crunches, and then do a second set of squats, shoulder presses, and basic crunches, and then do the third and last set of the three exercises. Circuits must not consist of three sets of squats in a row, followed by three sets of shoulder presses and three sets of basic crunches.

There are no breaks in between the exercises of a single circuit; however, once you have fully completed a circuit, you can have a one-minute rest. The workouts contain cardio intervals (one minute of jumping jacks, one minute of hand-to-knee taps or skipping) to keep your heart rate up for a maximum calorie burn.

IMPORTANT: All cardio intervals are based on one minute

First, take 1 minute to sit and visualize the body you would like to have and the new person you would like to become.

Start with a 30 second cardio warm up of jumping jacks, hand-to-knee taps or skipping.
