Circuit Training

Posted on | January 26, 2009 |

With summer only a season away, I have slowly begun to implement high intensity, plyometric workouts into my routine. These are exercises to get my heart pumping and to raise my metabolism to burn all the excess fat that I possibly can.

The workout I did over the weekend was a pretty good one, where as it only took a total of 11 minutes, and left me gasping for breath. I do this circuit with a workout partner to help motivate me and keep me going because it is pretty easy to quit midway through the set.

This circuit is made up of 30 second intervals with 5 exercises per set. You perform this set 2 times, take a 1 minute rest, the repeat 2 more times.
This should be a good enough warm up to keep your metabolism going while you move on with the rest of your workout.

30 seconds - Bent Over Rows
30 seconds - Push Press
30 seconds - Burpees
30 seconds - Skip Rope/Box jumps
30 seconds - Mountain Climbers

Repeat
