This is a beginner home circuit training routine (level 1). It’s based off a more traditional peripheral heart rate circuit routine. It can be demanding for some depending on fitness level. If you have a heart rate monitor - wear it. The idea is to keep your heart rate in the area of 140 bpm or higher. Rest periods are set for 15-seconds but use 0-90 seconds between circuit blocks, made up of 5 exercises. The goal is to complete 3 rounds using 15 different exercises. Exercise Equipment Needed Olympic Bar (22 or 45 lbs) Dumbbell Kettlebell You can switch out one for the other depending on what you have for equipment. Muscle Group Sequence Chest Back Shoulders Leg Core - **Perfom the Plank exercise for 60 seconds** The goal is to complete five sets of exercises before moving to the next series of five exercises. There are a total of 3 rounds of 15 different exercises. This circuit will keep the HR elevated and blood pumping systemically. All exercises use 10-15 repetitions and 1:00 for the Plank exercise. There are 2 circuit programs to complete each week. Rest 1-2 days before doing the 2nd session. GOAL Improve Cardiovascular Endurance Improve Muscular Endurance Stay Strong!
