Circuit Style Training

Combining cardio and weights is my favorite way to burn some extra calories. It is also a great way to increase fitness as well. I’m interested in looking good but I am also interested in actually being able to throw down in the gym. Here is one of my favorite workouts that accomplishes both by combining weights with breathing.

Directions

Mini Circuit One:

1. 10 Goblet Squats (Choose a heavier weight)

2. 10 calories on a FanBike (I.e AirDyne) or Rower

Rounds: Ten Rounds

Mini Circuit Two:

1. 10 Romanian Deadlift (Choose a medium weight)

2. 10 calories on a FanBike (I.e AirDyne) or Rower

Rounds: Ten Rounds

Mini Circuit Three:

1. 5/5 lunges (That means 5 reps on each) (Choose two medium weight dumbbells)

2. 10 calories on a FanBike (I.e AirDyne) or Rower

Rounds: Ten Rounds

Complete each mini circuit as quickly as possible and move onto the next one. You can take a minute off between each block but make sure you time yourself to see if you do each mini circuit faster each week.

Time: 45 minutes
