Circuit Training


From all exercises that I have been doing, I love circuit training most.

What is Circuit Training ?
We'll doing different exercises ranging from 8 - 10 exercises with 15 - 20 repetitions each.
Usually we work on full body to train different muscles.
This type of work out gets our heart rate up, burn more calories and gain muscles strength at the same time.

For myself, I usually do alternate strength exercise (20 sets each) and high intensity cardio (20 seconds), rest for 1 - 2 minutes and repeat 3x.
For beginner, I recommend to start with strength exercise (15 sets each) and high intensity cardio (15 seconds ), rest for 1 - 2 minutes and repeat 2x.
Once your body has adjusting and your muscle has gained some strength, you can increase the sets, time and repetitions.

What area it targets ?
1. Core muscles : Planks
2. Abs muscles : Sit ups, crunch
3. Legs muscles : Lunge, Squats
4. Back muscles : pull ups, cat style
5. Arms muscles : push ups, triceps exercise

What are the benefits of Circuit Training ?
1. It increases our heart rate
2. Burns more calories
3. Strengthen different muscles
4. Avoid boredom in exercises
5. We can be creative to modify exercises to challenge ourselves
6. We can do it anywhere anytime with or without gym gears

For beginner, I recommend 30 minutes circuit training exercise and do it 3x a week and make sure our body has enough rest after circuit training exercise.
