Circuit Training - Anaerobic/Cardiovascular
Frequency: 3 days on, 1 day off (Day 6)
Time: 20-45 minutes
Circuit training is a great way to achieve the benefits of strength training and cardiovascular 
training in one quick, challenging routine. The idea is to move quickly from exercise to exercise, 
taking only as much rest between sets as it takes to set up the next exercise (less than 20 
seconds). One circuit equals one set of each exercise. Initially, start with completing one round 
of Circuit 1. Then add an additional round of the same circuit. Once you reach three rounds 
of Circuit 1, add one round of Circuit 2. Add additional rounds of Circuit 2 as your fitness level 
increases. Repeat the process with Circuit 3. Do not let your heart rate exceed 220, minus your 
resting heart rate. Perform each rep of each exercise slowly. Count three seconds up and three 
seconds down.
