Circuit Training - Curves of Manchester GA

I was researching circuit training to really get an idea about Curves concept. I found the below and thought it was very interesting.

ASK THE EXPERTS:

Question = What is circuit training?

Answer = Circuit training in a great way to do resistance training and aerobic/anaerobic training in one workout. You select a certain number of exercises, and go from one exercise to the next with little or not rest, until you've completed all of them. A circuit can be set up any way-- it's fun to be creative. You can do a full body circuit, a lower body circuit, core circuit, upper body circuit, etc. By doing the exercises consecutively, your heart rate stays in the aerobic zone. You can also add in exercises like jump rope and step-ups to make it an anaerobic workout.

Circuits are great for all levels, beginners up to advanced. A circuit of 6-8 exercises is usually a good beginner level, working up to 12-15 exercises done twice for advanced. As you can see, a circuit can last as short as 10-15 minutes and go up to 60 minutes.
