Circuit Training



Modifed burpees! YAY!



Circuit Training is a workout routine that combines cardiovascular fitness and resistance training. It was first proposed in the late 1950s as a method to develop general fitness. The initial routines were arranged in a circle, alternating between different muscle groups (hence the name circuit training).

Depending on your current fitness level or the amount of time you have, do the following exercises one after the next with as little rest as possible. 

1. Squat Jumps
2. Push ups
3. Walking Lunges
4. Plank
5. Burpees
6. Chair/floor dips
7. Mt. Climbers
8. Superman
9. Crab Crawl (forward and back)
10. Rest 90 seconds and then...REPEAT :-)

How to modify:

1. Squat Jumps – Don’t jump…just squat
2. Push ups – Do from the knees
3. Alternate forward lunges
4. Plank –take breaks by putting knees down
5. Burpees – Same great move but with NO jumping
6. Tricep dips – I recommend coming from a chair and taking breaks
7. Mt. Climbers – Don’t jump, rather walk feet up and back
8. Superman – Keep closer to head
9. Crab crawl – take breaks when needed

Depending on your fitness level, I would start out with 30 seconds or about 15 reps for each exercise.  If you are a beginner only go through once.  Intermediate, twice.  Advance three to four times through.  As you improve, start doing each exercise for 45 seconds working your way up to one minute. 

Tricep dips!  Double Yay!!
