Circuit training is a great way to improve cardiovascular health and muscle endurance. Nuffield Health Senior Personal Trainer Phil Goulding explains how it works, what you can expect and the best way to fit it into your week. If you haven't heard of circuit training, it's a combination of six or more exercises performed with little rest in between for a designated number of reps or time. Circuits fit at the end of all selected events, but sessions can include multiple circuits. Circuit training consists of 6-12 exercises and should be planned in such a way that you can continue to perform the exercises in a good order with only short rest periods.
What are the benefits of circuit training? One of the main benefits of circuit training is that it works well over time, which makes it a popular training method if you lead an active lifestyle. At the same time, you can work on all areas of the body and develop your heart health and endurance. Circuit training will increase your heart rate and increase your intensity throughout the circuit due to the short rest periods and can allow you to train a large group of muscles together with a combination of upper, lower, lower and whole body. .
Appropriate exercise selection and planning for the circuit means you can switch from exercise to exercise with plenty of rest. By combining cardio and strength training, you'll also get a different workout.
Many people choose circuit training because no two circuit training exercises are the same. Circuit training exercises vary depending on a person's level and fitness goals - which can be modified to help meet the individual's needs.
