Week 15 Challenge: Circuit Training

Circuit training

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Circuit training is a combination of high-intensity aerobics and resistance training designed to be easy to follow and target fat loss, muscle building and heart fitness. An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first exercise again for another circuit. Traditionally, the time between exercises in circuit training is short, often with rapid movement to the next exercise

Week 15 Challenge: Circuit Training
To be completed 2 times this week.

Complete each exercise for 1 minute each, repeat 3 times.
(If you don't have access to a chin up bars can be replaced with a bicep curl holding any object of even weight.)

Start and end with a 5 minute stretch. Your rest time between each exercise should be no longer than 30-90 seconds.

Ski Jumps
Press ups
Bench Step ups
Sit ups
Squat Thrusts
Chin Ups (you can use a chair)
Free Squats

This exercise can of course be replaced with a circuit training class at the gym or circuit training video.
