Circuit training is a form of body conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity aerobics. It targets strength building or muscular endurance. An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first exercise again for the next circuit. (See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circuit_training) Studies at Baylor University and The Cooper Institute show that circuit training is the most time efficient way to enhance cardiovascular fitness and muscle endurance. Studies show that circuit training helps women to achieve their goals and maintain them longer than other forms of exercise or diet. (Heavin, Gary and Colman, Carol, C. Reprint edition (December 7, 2004). Curves: Permanent Results Without Permanent Dieting) Traditionally, the time between exercises in circuit training is short, often with rapid movement to the next exercise. Benefits of circuit training are: •Circuit training is a great boredom buster: Moving quickly from one exercise to the next means your mind doesn't have time to wander or tune out. •An all-strength circuit burns 30 percent more calories (about nine per minute!) than a typical weight workout and offers more cardio benefits. In this five (5) day Circuit Training Routine mixes a series of strength exercise steps with a 5-minute cardio High-Intensity-Interval-Training (H.I.I.T.) run. The H.I.I.T. run the ends the circuit. The daily routine consists of 4 to 5 circuits. Each step in the circuit has 12 reps and then a 30 second cool down. The complete daily circuit can be repeated for a more intense workout.
