There are times, though, when you want to do a quick workout for a host of reasons. This is why strength and cardio circuit training is so beneficial. One reason circuit training is so popular is because it&#8217;s time efficient. It combines a perfect blend of strength training and cardio in minimal time. The end result is usually the same, a great, full-body workout in less time than a traditional workout!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The cool thing about circuit programs are: they&#8217;re fast, fun and very effective. You never get bored because of the many design options for a given circuit routine. The need for minimal equipment also helps, especially if it&#8217;s done at home. Featured strength and cardio circuits can now be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\">Jefit app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-circuit-training\">What is Circuit Training?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unm.edu\/~lkravitz\/Article%20folder\/circuits05.html\">Circuit training<\/a> is training method that alternates between several exercises (usually 4 to 12) that target different muscle groups. A plan can even use different movement patterns (like push, pull, press, carry, etc.). The design of the program enables someone to move from exercise to exercise with minimal or no rest depending on their fitness level. Some of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.frontiersin.org\/articles\/10.3389\/fphys.2017.00172\/full\">many benefits<\/a> of regular circuit training include improvements in body composition, muscular strength\/endurance and aerobic capacity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-is-interval-training\">What is Interval Training?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.medicinenet.com\/interval_training\/article.htm#what_is_interval_training\">Interval training<\/a>, on the other hand, alternates between periods of moderate-to-high-intensity work with brief periods of active or passive rest. The main difference between circuit training and interval training is not\u00a0what you&#8217;re doing but rather the\u00a0intensity\u00a0of the work being done. You have probably heard about HIIT (high-intensity interval training) before or seen it in some of the workout titles on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\">Jefit app<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"\/\/cdn.jefit.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/47-1-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"variety of gym equipment\" class=\"wp-image-4933\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/47-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/47-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/47-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/47-1-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.jefit.com\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/47-1-2048x1365.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Equipment Need: Jump Rope, Weight Plate and Dumbbells<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-circuit-design-ub-lb-core-cardio-sequence\">Circuit Design: UB\/LB\/Core\/Cardio Sequence<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>The circuit session begins with four exercises group together following a brief warm-up.
