Circuit Training = Your New BFF

Are you ready to jump-start your day, squat away those fears and push-up your life by lunging into some healthy habits?! Well great, because that’s what today has signed you up for.

We’re not talking gym memberships here, although those are great. We’re talking easy shmeazy at-home workouts you can do right in the comfort of your living room!

This circuit is simply built as a guide for you. We want to stress that 30 minutes is a generic time. If it takes you longer, don’t sweat it! You’re getting off the couch and doing something and that’s all we can ask for.

Why circuit?

Boredom Buster.

Are you the one to keep sneaking a peek at the clock during a workout? Odds are, you’re not the only one. Tuning out during a generic workout is so easy to do, which is why circuit training is perfect when trying to stay focused.1 These exercises are all about moving from one exercise right into the other. So, the only counting you’ll be doing is watching the time left before moving on to the next exercise.

Calorie Kicker.

Circuit training is amazing when trying get rid of a few calories. Whether your goal is to sculpt your bod, fade away your fat, or both, you can burn up to 30 percent more calories than the average workout—about 10 a minute!2

When to rest.

Generally, the best rest time in between each activity is three to 15 seconds. But again, there’s no hard rule to this. It all depends on your training goal, fitness level and the amount of time you have available.3

 Skipping the next round? Think again!

After each circuit, catch your breath, and remind yourself of the jaw-dropping bod you’re about to have. Don’t break for too long though because remember—you’re a superstar and ain’t nobody got time for quitters. Up to two minutes max of rest time is what you should try to reach for.

Okay—all kicks aside—let’s start those jumps we call jacks and flutter kick our way into your new healthy habit!
