True Aerobic Circuit Training
Frequency: 2-3 Times Per Week Time: About 20-60 Minutes
Circuit training is a great way to achieve the benefits of strength training and cardiovascular training in one quick,
challenging routine. By returning to the aerobic rowing exercise between each set you are increasing your aerobic
capacity, endurance and burning fat as energy. 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.
Do not let your heart rate exceed 220 minus your age. Perform each rep of each exercise slowly and with perfect
technique. Count three seconds up and three seconds down.
Warm-up with 5-15 minutes of rowing or some other aerobic exercise before starting your circuits.
