3 Reasons Circuit Training Should Be On Top of Your List
- 5 Comment
I am currently in the office and to be honest, from now on my days are going to be
absolutely full.
I have taken on an assignment as a soccer coach and a strength and conditioning
coach for two teams in our city and that together with Burn Fat at Home means
full work days. Sure, it’s going to be tough, but it’s what I enjoy doing, which makes
it a lot easier!
So the days when I could walk into the gym several times a week and perform a
60-min workout is gone, I don’t have that time anymore!
Do I stop exercising because of this?
Of course not, I find options to other things I can do from the comfort of my own
home that takes me 15-20 min per day, and that’s where the amazing effect of
Circuit Training comes in handy.
Let me give you 3 reasons to why Circuit Training should be on top of you list
every single day:
1. It’s backed up by science
Regular weight training where you spend an hour in the gym performing exercises
on machines for the typical 3 sets x 8-12 reps is out. Most often the trainer at the
public gym gives you these instructions together with 1-2 min of rest in between
each set.
This is not optimal for fat loss. With Circuit Training you make sure to keep your
body moving for a longer period of time and with decreased amount of rest, you both
work your cardiovascular system harder and you burn more calories throughout the
rest of the day!
2. No need for fancy equipment
A Circuit Training workout can be performed with only your own bodyweight. All you
need is a bit of imagination and you can have yourself performing a 20-min workout
where you literally will be shredding off that ugly belly fat of yours!
The only equipment I use is a set of resistance bands together with some type of
chinup bar or gymnastic rings.
3. Time-effecient and easy!
All of the workouts in Burn Fat at Home are created around Circuit Training that are
time based, which means you never have to count reps again. Just get a stop-watch
and stay focused on performing the actual exercises, and not bothering counting reps.
And don’t forget, traning should be easy and fun, and with Circuit Training you can mix
it up a lot, which means you don’t have to perform the same workout over and over again,
because let’s face it – that’s boring!
There you got it, 3 reasons to why Circuit Training should be on top of your list!
Stay strong,
Jonas Forsberg

Should I recommend having him workout with weights one day, next day cardio, and so on. Or should i have him do circuit training one day then cardio another. I’m thinking for starters like 3-4 days of exercise for the first week.

I do one hour circuit training a day & include lots of skipping. Should I throw in more cardio like jogging & bicycling? And how much & how often? I am 22 years old and a female and I want to move to a stage of muscular & staminal perfection.

Every circuit is used to target a specific muscle or muscle group the user performs the repetitions and exercise correctly. A complete set (circuit). Circuit training. It promises a fast, whole-body workout.

your circuit may include a flat-bench chest press but zilch on an incline, leaving your upper chest underdeveloped. Or you may execute a lateral raise for your shoulders but neglect doing a press or a bent-over raise…
