Benefits Of Circuit Training

To get you started, try this upper/lower body circuit workout:

• Do 4 push-ups ( female or male version)
•  Take a 30-60 second active rest
• Do 4 body weight squats
• Take a 30-60 second active rest

Do a second set of push-ups/body weight squats with 3 reps followed by a third set with 2 reps with an active rest between each exercise. During the 30-60 second active rest, you should be moving in some capacity ( e.g., marching in place, jumping jacks, dancing, etc.).

Because a circuit is a full-body workout, there is no need to workout daily, three times per week should suffice.

Check out the video for an example.
