Circuit training

This is a great option if you’re short on time or if your main goal is fat loss. By doing different exercises back to back with no rest in between you keep your effort level high and force your heart to pump blood to different parts of your body, giving you both a cardiovascular and a musclebuilding benefit. Circuits aren’t the best way to build muscle, but they will help you to look

Designing your workout Circuits require you to move swiftly from one exercise to the next, which is easier with no kit. Aim to target as many different muscle groups as possible and alternate between upper and lower body moves to make your heart work harder without experiencing excessive muscle fatigue.

Include a mix of pushing, pulling, lunging, bending and rotational moves, to give your workout balance. You should also try to complete the reps quickly but without compromising good form.

Once you’ve completed the circuit, rest for three minutes then do it all again. The fitter you become, the more circuits you’ll be able to complete.
