Circuit training is all the rage, and while it shouldn’t be the only style of workout design you use, it can be a good one to include in your program.
Circuit training workouts are workouts where you complete different exercises back to back. Some can be super intense where you take little to no rest before moving on to the next exercise while others can be a bit less aerobic and allow you to rest 30 seconds or so before moving on to the next exercise.
You can do the exercises in circuit routines for time or for a set amount of reps. The exercises can be cardio in nature or more strength oriented.
You can alternate hemispheres (upper body then lower body) or you can blast one hemisphere with the circuit.
Below are two different Circuit Training Workouts that we love.
When training for a race, you have to log the miles.
However, if there are days when you can’t get outside to do your runs or rides, you can still train and improve your endurance inside the gym
And that doesn’t mean you have to spend 30 minutes to an hour doing steady-state cardio on some boring piece of cardio equipment.
Below is one of the endurance workouts we love to do. It is a challenging workout that will improve your endurance while changing up the exercise you do every minute.
If you aren’t training for a race or endurance sport, it is still a great way to build up up your endurance.
One piece of equipment and 30 minutes. That is all you need to get in a great full-body workout at home.
