The Best Workout for Today’s Busy Lifestyle: Circuit Training

Posted by admin on July 22nd, 2010 and filed under circuit training | No Comments »

Everyone knows the value of exercise and other physical activities to one’s health. Unfortunately, many modern day individuals are preoccupied with the ever-increasing demands of work, family, and other important matters that they have no time to include exercise in their schedules. Countless individuals are seeking ways to improve their physique, develop their muscles, and eliminate stress without consuming too much time.

A great way to improve one’s health and physique is by doing a workout program called “circuit training.” This kind of training program involves moving from one strength training routine to another, in a specified amount of time, with the goal of working the major muscle groups in the upper body, lower body, and core. Individuals who want to try this program should remember that no two consecutive exercises should target the same muscle group. During circuit training, individuals usually perform exercises in about 20 to 30 seconds with a 30 second recovery between each exercise. Three to five sets of exercises are done with a three minute recovery between each set.

Circuit training may improve strength, muscle endurance, and metabolism because of constant movement. In addition to these health benefits, if circuit exercises are done at speed, some benefits of aerobic exercises can be achieved as well. However, this type of program alone may not burn enough calories to promote significant weight-loss. This exercise program, like other workout programs, have advantages and disadvantages.

The advantages of circuit training includes:

•    Development of strength and endurance
•    Ideal form of training for many kinds of sports
•    Can be adjusted for appropriate age, fitness, and health of individuals
•    Exercises are simple enough to make individuals feel a sense of achievement in completing them
•    A wide range of exercises are available that will suit an person’s preference

Disadvantages of circuit training may include the following:

•    Many exercises require equipment (dumbbells, barbels, exercise ball, etc)
•    Ample space is required to perform circuit exercises
•    Use of some equipment require appropriate health and safety monitoring

Just like other exercise programs, circuit training should be done properly and in moderation to achieve improved health. Some people are in such a hurry to improve their health that they tend over-train. Over-training should be avoided because too much or too intense physical activity may take its toll on the body. This happens because the body literally undergoes “wear and tear” during training. To build muscles and improve the body, it needs to rest to attain normal development. Medical studies show that over-training may cause fatigue and cause respiratory infection. In addition to these ailments, men who over-train may experience a decline in sperm quality and production. This happens because intense physical activities may reduce the level of the hormones in the bloodstream that affects the sperm. Normal sperm production and quality may return to normal after two to three days of rest.

Before beginning circuit training and other physical activities, individuals are encouraged to seek the advice of doctors and other health specialists. They may devise an exercise program and diet that are appropriate for one’s health needs. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of physical activities may lead to improved overall health.

Posted by admin on July 22nd, 2010 and filed under circuit training | No Comments »

The high-tech, high speed nature of 21st Century living has made exercise and other physical activities that promote health and longevity a rarity. In a more accurate sense, it can be said that physical fitness is commonly pushed down below a long list of daily priorities at work and in school.

Due to their hectic schedules, many people are now seeking ways to improve their physique, develop their muscles, and eliminate stress without consuming too much time. An alternative to workout without spending too much time is engaging in a training program called circuit training. This kind of training keeps aims to push the body aerobically and challenge strength. An example of circuit training may include about five minutes of jumping rope followed by push-ups and ab exercises.

Circuit training is an efficient and effective form of conditioning training that works well for improving strength, physique, endurance, flexibility, and coordination. Because of the versatility of this kind of training, it has become popular to busy individuals who want to improve their health. It is also developed by athletes who want to maintain their fitness level and prepare the body for more vigorous and stressful training. Circuit training may improve metabolism because of constant movement. In addition to these health benefits, if circuit exercises are done hurriedly which enables individuals to spend less time working out. However, this type of program alone may not burn enough calories to promote significant weight-loss. Like other workout programs circuit training has advantages and disadvantages.

Advantages of circuit training may include the following:

*

To save space and perform exercises effectively, those who want to engage in circuit training may include the use of fitness balls in their training. A fitness ball, also known as Pilates ball, stability ball, Swiss ball, and gym ball is made of elastic rubber which usually has a diameter of 14 to 34 inches. While typical exercises are done directly on a flat surface, a fitness ball may provide instability that may promote tension to targeted muscle parts. These muscles can gain strength as they try to maintain balance. With frequent circuit training with a fitness ball, these muscles may become stronger and gain mass in a short period.

Guidelines for circuit training for general health may include the following:

Load Variable

Number of exercises eight to 12

Time per station 30 – 90 seconds

Number of circuits per session one to three

Rest interval between sets 30 – 90

Rest interval between circuits two to three minutes

Speed of execution medium to fast

Frequency two to three times a week

Many people who want to improve their health do not realize the value of circuit training. This exercise program is essential in improving the health of individuals who do not have time to go to the gym and do not have the resources to purchase often expensive exercise equipment. Exercises like push-ups, pull-ups, squat thrusts, and abdominal crunches do not require equipment. People may buy cheap dumbbells and jump ropes to improve their circuit training program.

Before engaging in circuit training and other physical activities, individuals are encouraged to seek the advice of doctors and other health specialists. They may devise an exercise programs and diets that are appropriate for their health needs. Understanding the advantages and disadvantages of physical activities may lead to improved overall health.

Circuit Training Bodyweight Exercises

Posted by admin on July 16th, 2010 and filed under circuit training | 25 Comments »


www.LeeHayward.com In this video Im going to go over a total body workout routine that you can do using just bodyweight exercises. The first exercise is the basic push up. Push ups are great for building up the chest, shoulders, and triceps. They also bring the muscles throughout the mid-section and core into play as stabilizers to keep your body straight. Here in the video both my self and my better half Patricia are doing the workout set for set. Youll notice that here on the video we are doing the push ups with our hands placed on an exercise matt. This tends to make the exercise more comfortable then if you did them with your hands placed on the hard floor. You can vary your hand spacing and positions with each set to work the muscles from different angles. Wider hand spacing tends to place more stress on the chest. And a closer hand spacing tends to focus more on working the triceps. Were doing our bodyweight workout in a circuit routine fashion. Moving quickly from one exercise to the next. Only resting long enough for the other person to complete their set. Here Im doing bodyweight squats. This is a great exercise that works the entire lower body from the quadriceps, hamstrings, hips, and glutes. When doing squats youll make the exercise a lot harder and get more benefit if you use a full range of motion and squat all the way down. Here you can see Patricia doing bodyweight squats from a side angle. Youll notice that her upper thighs go down part parallel with the

Does Resistance Band Circuit Training Really Burn Fat

Posted by admin on July 13th, 2010 and filed under circuit training | No Comments »

The new year is always flooded with resolutions, goals and hope for a more productive year, physically, personally and professionally. Almost always at the top of the list for many people is instituting some sort of weight management or weight loss system. one way to make those hopes a reality is to gather reliable information that will help you stay on track throughout the year. It doesn’t matter if you’re getting healthy tips from reading a fitness
book or an online article like this one, just as long as you’re doing something. The worst thing that you can ever do is quit on yourself this year.

But how can you stay on task for an entire year when you’re so busy with kids, school, career and the occasional vacation. Well, here’s two exercises that will help make your new year’s resolutions a reality. It requires only a pair of resistance band, and takes less than 15-minutes to complete eack workout. The workouts are short, but they are highly effective against fat.

Workout guidelines:

Most gym goers, including me used to jump into an 8 week workout routine found on any website or fitness magazine. However, many such workouts are
either way too advanced for the average person or it simply does not burn enough calories to make any real changes to your body.

Beginners should never mirror a workout found on a fitness magazine unless it specifically states that the workout program is for beginners. Resistance bands works well for both beginners and advance individuals. The reason why is because unlike other workout devices, you can change the intensity of the movement by simply changing your hold on the bands.

Beginners should perform the exercises below one time through, once per week. For the advanced individuals, execute the exercise 3 times through 2-3 times per week.

circuit training with resistance bands (3 or more exercises required)

circuit training with resistance bands is a great way to combine strength training and cardio all at once when you’re short on time. Traditionally, the rest period between exercises in this workout is very little if any, often with rapid movement from exercise to exercise. Choose three exercise that you can do back to back with the bands like a lunge, shoulder press, and dead lift.Execute each exercise for 8-10 reps than move to the next exercise until you complete the entire set.

Superset training with resistance bands (no more than 2 resistance band exercises required)

Superset workouts involves doing back to back exercises with no rest between sets. Basically, this type of workout maximizes training intensity and allows you to work several different aspects of the muscle at the same time. For best results, train opposing muscle groups first. This approach to training allows one muscle group to recover while the opposing muscle group is working.

Circuit Training to Improve Your Golf Game

Posted by admin on July 7th, 2010 and filed under circuit training | No Comments »

Probably my most favorite single workout is a circuit training routine I do at home in my garage.  Although it’s a bit dirty in there, it is a large space and I have a nice set up with a weight bench, squat rack with lat machine, dumbbell rack, and a 70 pound heavy bag. 

 The routine I perform is excellent in that it combines strength training with aerobic conditioning.  I combine the moves and forms I learned while training in the art of Pai Lum Kung Fu, with more typical weight lifting and calisthenics.  It is easy to substitute the Kung Fu forms with any type of aerobic type exercise, such as jumping rope.

 My workout also hits all of the major muscle groups, which is important for golfers, because the golf swing incorporates all of the major muscle groups.  However, I should note that most of the exercises focus on the legs, the most important muscles for generating power in your golf swing.  The other important benefit to golfers from this routine is that it helps to improve your endurance and it will help shed pounds without doing any high impact aerobic moves.  This will help the golfer maintain performance as well at the end of the around as at the beginning.

 When I perform this routine, I perform 12 to 15 repetitions for each exercise (except for Kung Fu Stances – which are held for 1 minute).    I select a weight that is about 70% of the maximum amount of weight I can lift for one rep. 

 Here is a sample routine:

Warm Up – Jump Rope for 5 minutes, then light stretching

1. Jump Rope – 60 seconds
2. Bench Press –
3. Leg Extension
4. Kung Fu Form 1 or Jump Rope 60 seconds
5. Heavy Bag – 60 seconds – Hands only
6. Dumbbell Shoulder Press
7. Horse Stance – 60 seconds
8. Kung Fu Form 2 or Jump Rope 60 seconds
9. Heavy Bag – 60 seconds – Kicking only
10. Lat Pulldown
11. Step back lunge with dumbbells
12.  Kung Fu Form 3  or Jump Rope 60 seconds
13. Heavy Bag – 60 seconds – Hands and Feet
14. Dumbbell Chest Flies
15. Leg Extension
16. Kung Fu Form 4 or Jump Rope 60 seconds
17. Heavy Bag – 60 seconds – Hands Only
18. Seated Cable Row
19. Monkey Stance – 60 seconds
20. Kung Fu Form 5 or Jump Rope 60 seconds
21. Heavy Bag – 60 seconds – Kicking
22. Dumbbell Shoulder Flies
23. Charging Horse Stance
24. Kung Fu Form 6 or Jump Rope 60 seconds
25. Heavy Bag – 60 seconds – Hands and Feet

You should note that there is no essentially no rest in between exercises, this keeps the heart rate up through the entire workout.  This particular routine takes about 30 minutes to complete after the warm up. 

Depending upon how much time I have, I will do a workout that lasts anywhere from 30 to 60 minutes.  There is a myriad of exercises you can include in this type of workout, and many you can perform without having any equipment. 

You will note that this particular circuit routine does not include any exercises that work on your core muscles such as the lower back and abdominals.  I prefer to work these muscles in a separate routine after my circuit workout.  However, you can certainly include these in any circuit routine. 

During your off-season training, a good circuit routine should be an important of your program to improve your golf game.  The benefits of a good circuit routine are truly significant to the golfer, as it will improve strength in all of the important muscle groups while at the same time it will improve your overall endurance.  If you perform this routine three days per week and combine it with a proper diet, you will also have the added benefit of weight loss if needed. 

Remember, even though the weather may be cold in your part of the world, you can still improve your golf game!
