Circuit Training

Performing a series of exercises back-to-back with minimal rest between them.

Circuit training involves moving through a series of different exercises with minimal rest, typically completing multiple rounds. It combines strength and cardio training, burns more calories than traditional lifting, and is time-efficient. Circuits can be designed for various goals including fat loss, endurance, or general fitness.

Examples

  • Squats → Push-ups → Rows → Lunges with no rest
  • 3 rounds of 8 exercises
  • Minimal rest between exercises, 1-2 minutes between rounds
