How do I design a circuit training program?
A circuit training program is a series of exercises done, generally, in a circular format, and it can be strength and cardio training together. Sometimes when it's only strength you'll go from upper to lower body, to upper to lower body, and then you can do a cardio or cardiovascular training session in-between: which can be jogging in place, jumping jacks, riding a bike, anything of that nature. And each station is generally done from 3 seconds to a minute and then a bell will ring or the instuctor will tell you to progress to the next station. And generally, workouts last about 3 minutes.An example of how you can design a circuit training program is if you have a machine for a pushing movement for chest and then the next exercise may be jumping jacks. And the next exercise is a leg press and the next exercise is something pressing over your head. So its going from strength to cardio to strength. And it goes: upper body, cardio, lower, cardio, upper body. Back and forth, back and forth like that. There's a lot of different options. That just tend to create a lot more symmetry in the workout.
