Circuit Training Exercises, Design Your Own Program

Circuit training (CT) exercises are a great way to keep your training moving and fast paced. Your circuits should help improve all 5 components of physical fitness if done regularly and with good energy. It's important to have a goal and to measure your progress.

The 5 components are not only a good standard of fitness, they're also a good way to evaluate the changes that will happen in your body.

The 5 components include:
-Cardio-Respiratory Endurance - Your body's efficiency at both delivering oxygen and nutrients to the working muscles and transporting waste products from the cells.
-Muscular Strength -The greatest amount of force your muscle can exert in a single effort.
-Muscle Endurance - Your muscle`s ability to perform a repeated movement for an extended period of time.
-Flexibility -Range of motion a joint is capable of moving.
-Body Composition -Your percentage of body fat.

Whether you're an athlete, weekend warrior, or just serious about your training, you can benefit from adding this kind of regiment to your routine. All CT really involves is taking a group of exercises and doing them one after the other and keeping your heart rate elevated.

This kind of training is also great if you don`t have a lot of space; you can design something that can be done in your hotel room, office, or living room.

Circuits that switch from one part of the body to the next are extremely beneficial because they require the body to move blood to different parts, thereby improving circulation.

You can take just about any group of exercises and make a circuit out of it. Circuits can easily have varying degrees of difficulty just by adjusting the length of your repetitions and rest periods, and you can always add exercises or replace altogether them after a couple of weeks, just to keep things fresh.

The basic components of a circuit are:
-Exercises - What kind of exercises will you include that will improve the 5 components of physical fitness?
-Repetitions -Usually circuits will use high repetitions in order to work endurance, strength, and cardiovascular fitness.
-Rest and Recovery -Usually kept short because the focus is on muscular strength, endurance and aerobic/anaerobic fitness.

When circuit training, one of the most important things to consider is your rest. Depending on how you design your workout your rest intervals can make
the circuit more or less fatiguing, and they can alter the quality of the circuit. Too much rest and your heart rate will be below its optimal zone, too high and the aerobic system will be neglected.

So, by following a few simple guidelines you to can start building your own circuit training workouts today and change it up from week to week as you see fit.

Circuit Training Exercises 2

A quick survey for you:
Have you been going to the same gym for at least the past six months?
-Do many of the guys who go to your gym at least look familiar by now?
-Do almost all of these guys still have just about the same physique as they did when you first saw them?
-Do you have just about the same physique since the first time they saw you?
Time for a Change

Before answering, I want you to really, really think about these questions. Think about that guy you see almost every night -- you know, the one who does a set of heavy bench press, walks around for ten minutes or so, talks on his cell phone and then finally does another set.

Also think about the dude who wears the same shirt every time he goes to the gym and does the same workout just about every time, too. As best as you can recall, did these guys' physiques, six months ago, look identical to the way they looked, say, last night when you saw them at the gym?

I also want you think about yourself. If you were to look at a photo of yourself from six months ago, would your physique still look the exact same (or, perhaps even worse)?

Now answer the above stated questions.
I'd be willing to guess that 75% of the people that answer these questions, answer Yes to all 4 of them. What makes me so self-assured in my presumption? Because up until a year ago, I too would have answered Yes to all of them.

So, what happened since last year, you may be wondering. Well, unfortunately for those other, random dudes with whom I share the gym for about an hour a night, most of their physiques have gone unchanged. As for mine, however, there has been a dramatic decrease in body fat percentage and marked increase in muscle definition.

Split Routines
For 15 or so years, I followed the traditional split-routine; working two or three muscle groups per day, one day per week (or, in some weeks, two times). This muscle-building routine is tried and true, being followed, and championed, by some of the greatest bodybuilders in the world.

But, what I failed to realize for 15 years is that a bodybuilding split routine was not right for me; a guy who simply wanted to get into great shape, not compete on stage in a flex-off. Then, as of last year, I finally listened to advice that I had been giving to so many others that I had worked out with and/or trained, and that was to try a circuit training routine.

Circuit Training
Since switching to a circuit routine, I walk out of the gym each day feeling like I actually worked out, rather than simply feeling slightly swollen and pumped. The sweat cascades down the side of my face and soaks its way through my shirt, my muscles feel so challenged that they quiver, and my heart races faster than an Indy car.

The bottom line: It feels right. In less than a year's time, I have seen my body actually evolve; something that I questioned was even possible after so many years of not achieving my desired results.

Typically, if I had read this very article in the past, I would have dismissed such a workout as being something that may work well for someone else, but it couldn't possibly challenge someone who has been lifting weights for fifteen years. More or less, that's why I never bothered to try a circuit training routine -- my own hubris stood in the way.

Results Speak Louder Than Words
Now, one year later and with a six-pack that you can actually see, I regret having been such a stubborn fool for so many years prior.

One thing to bear in mind -- by no means are the circuit training exercises and workouts to which I refer easy. And, you still lift weights while performing them. Possibly even very heavy weights that you can only lift for 4 to 6 reps.

No matter which circuit you choose to try, the key to the workout itself is to keep your heart rate up from start to finish. To do so, this means that you will not be taking any breaks in between sets (or, at most, you will take 15 seconds). Also, finishing or touching-up exercises like bicep curls, tricep extensions, etc. -- consider those a thing of the past.

Instead, you will focus on exercises that utilize several major muscle groups, such as the pull-up, bench press, squat, dead lift, and others. You answered Yes to the survey questions for a reason, and that reason is that you and the people around you at the gym have not seen any significant gains in the past six months because you keep performing the same damn workout. And, chances are, it's a split routine.

Maybe, just maybe, you can take a chance on something. Try spending the next 3 months performing a resistance-based circuit training workout. Then, go back to my survey questions. Chances are, you will at least be able to answer No to the question about your own physique. As for the other guys in the gym -- well, that's up to you if you want to share your secret.

Circuit Training Exercises For Strength and Endurance

What do we expect out of our fitness training routine? Most of you would say that you want to develop strength; some would say endurance and then there would be another bunch of people who would say that they want both strength as well as endurance.

What about the amount of time that people are ready to devote? That is another challenge since most of us are hard pressed for time always. So how does one get the best out of their time? I recommend circuit training exercises for all of you who want to build strength and endurance with limited amount of time to spare.

Circuit training exercises are fast and quick workouts but at the same time they are proven to deliver great results. For those of you who are not familiar with circuit training, here is a brief overview to help you understand the concept of circuit training. Circuit Training is a type of resistance training where you would usually find about 10-12 different exercises. Each of these exercise areas is known as a station.

What you have to do is to go to each of these stations, perform the exercise for 2-3 sets or for a couple of minutes and then immediately move onto the next station to perform your next exercise.

So as you can see, you hardly get any time to catch up on your breath. You will have to be constantly on the move, going from one station to another. If you do these exercises in a group then you have another challenge; you will always be under pressure to keep up with the group. Hence these are really very effective exercises.

The biggest advantage is that these exercises take only about 30-40 minutes, which in my opinion is a big plus. So now you can get started with your exercises right away.

Circuit Training Exercises - A Circuit Training Workout For Fat Loss

So you're looking to get ideas for some good circuit training exercises to incorporate into your routine? Well, you're in the right place. But before we get into the exercises, I'll first explain the concept of the training method and why it's so effective.

Circuit training involves performing one exercise (or bout of activity) after another without a rest interval in between. The physiological benefits behind the concept make it the most effective training method to stimulate fat loss. That's not even debatable, it's a fact!

When you cut out the rest interval, the concentrations of lactic acid (which is a bi-product of anaerobic metabolism) within your muscles will gradually increase. When this happens, growth hormone is secreted from the pituitary gland which ultimately helps transport fatty acids into the mitochondria for oxidization.
Alright, that's the technical side of it but I can simplify it in just a few words - it helps you burn more fat!

Circuit Training Exercises
You can really add any exercise into a circuit training workout but the best exercises to use are compound, multi-joint movements. Basically, you want to implement exercises that work multiple muscle groups at once since doing so will burn more calories and ultimately, it'll burn more fat. That being said, here's a sample circuit workout for fat loss..

Simple Workout With Circuit Training Exercises For Your Best Results

Circuit training exercises are one of the best ways for you to use resistance training to burn fat. It is a common misconception for people to think that in order to lose weight, they should concentrate on cardio training. Walking on a treadmill, running, riding a bike, etc. all have their place in your training regimen, but in my opinion, none are as important as resistance training. Of course with any type of exercise, it all depends on what your workout goals are and what you are trying to accomplish.

To lose weight, you need to ensure that your diet allows you to eat less calories on a consistent basis then you are using. Once your diet is in order, the next thing is exercise. Doing some sort of circuit training at a fast pace will not only cover your resistance training, it will also act as a type of cardio training. Training in this way will also allow you to get your workout in well under an hour and let you move on with your day instead of wasting hours and hours inside the gym.

Circuit training will usually consist of a series of exercises that you will perform one after the other, for two, three, or even four sets. There are many different variations that you can do and an almost endless amount of exercises for you to choose. Your circuit can be performed with body weight exercises, with weights, or with a combination of the two. They key to any circuit training program is to always use proper form, especially when you are tired, and to have the willpower to push yourself each workout to beat your last one.

Here are some of the circuit training exercises that I have used in the past. This is a body weight circuit that will literally kick your butt if you do it correctly with little to no rest between sets and exercises! This can easily be done at home in your basement or even outside in nature, which sure beats a stuffy gym! For the rope exercises, I use a one inch synthetic rope that can be tied to your main beam in a basement or even outside around a tree branch.

- Prisoner Squats (15 reps)
- Close Grip Push ups (15 reps)
- Bulgarian Split squats (15 reps each leg)
- Inverted rows with rope (10-15 reps)
- Suspension Push ups with rope (10 -15 reps)
- Mountain Climbers (20 reps)
- Hip extensions (15 reps)
- Planks (60 seconds)

This would be done straight through one after the other completing one set. You should strive to do two, or three sets. In the beginning, work more on proper form and less reps until you can do each exercise properly. If you have trouble doing the reps on one exercise, just decrease them on that specific exercise. If any of these exercises are easy for you, just add more reps. If you can get through each of these exercises, doing all of the reps properly with only around a minute of rest between sets, you will definitely see a difference in your body weight.

Of course, your diet will play a major role in this, but as far as the workout goes this will work wonders for you. So there you have it, some circuit training exercises that will burn fat faster and more efficient than any treadmill routine that I know of.

No matter what body style or how much weight that you need to lose, weight loss all comes down to three simple steps. The fitness and dieting industry try to make it more difficult that it really is so they can sell you the diet of the week or the newest magic pill that never works!
