Circuit training tips

Here are some tips that will help you to include more exercises in your bodyweight circuit training and those are exercises that can be done by almost everyone and because of that they are suitable for all kinds of workout routines.

Surge training is a new type of exercise that challenges the philosophy of traditional training, while maximizing fat loss and cutting gym time into a fraction of what is usually considered effective. The problem with standardized exercise programs is that they tend to stake all of their findings on a generalized, averaged basis. This means that it tries to marginalize the spectrum of different fields of data to make room for all scientific findings.

Surge training happens to be on the cutting edge of scientific studies, and is of the mindset that you can get a great, high intensity, short circuit workout done in less than 15 minutes and still see results. An example of a Surge Training workout would include a lot of body weight exercises, like reverse lunges, jumping squats, bodyweight squat, plank, mountain climbers, and a bodyweight push up on a balance ball, with none of the exercises lasting longer than 20 seconds. If this rotation is completed three times at that rapid-fire speed your body will be so spent, that you will feel like you have just gotten in a long workout at the gym. After finishing, you will notice that your body responds to high intensity training much better than getting in hours at the gym, and you will notice in less time you will see better results. This is a modified circuit, but the speed interval aspect of the training makes all the difference.

Another unique way to make circuit training fresh is to take it outside! Too many people think that the parameters of a gym and the weight rack are the only tools that you can use to successfully put together an effective circuit-training program. The truth is that our bodies carry all the weight we need in and of itself to challenge our muscles and in turn build tone; we just have to isolate them correctly and in the right environment. In the park, you can find all sorts of ways to step up your program, literally!

For an example workout here a few great outside ideas! Find a park bench and do step-ups on the seat. Do 20 on each leg, and then flip over to do triceps dip on the same bench. From there sit down on the edge of the bench, lift your legs and bend them at the knee, and do your crunches on the edge of the seat. If you have a basketball or tennis court nearby, in-between that circuit you should run suicides or sprints on the court. Change out the three exercises for a few more total body, all inclusive exercises and you have an excellent kick-butt workout in the beauty of your own neighborhood park.
