Circuit Training
Feel like you have been on a treadmill or a stairmaster or an eliptical forever? Bored to tears with your workout? And still don't see results? Try Circuit Training! Circuit Training combines high-intensity cardio with resistance training. So you are on and off the cardio equipment and working out with weights in between. A good trainer can design a program for you and take you through it in a couple of sessions (or keep reading my blog and I'll outline how you can design your own). It should be easy to follow, give you a great workout, and target fat loss, muscle building and heart-lung fitness. Usually, the time between exercises in circuit training is short, often with rapid movement to the next exercise, which keeps your heart rate up, and also keeps you interested. How-tos on designing your own program in my next blog!
Hi everyone — welcome to my blog on Cardio.
First off, I want to talk about something that I feel strongly about. Cardio is a critical part of any serious (or not-so-serious) workout. And people love to focus on it, thinking they will see quick results — espeically for weight loss. I see people in my gym all the time that seem to be on the treadmills endlessly, but never seem to make any progress, nor do you see any changes in their bodies. And what's the point of going to the gym and working so hard if you're not going to see some results!!!! So my advice is, don't overdo the cardio! Every other day — not every day and 30 minutes is fine. And if you're not seeing results, you need to try circuit training — which incorporates both cardio and weight lifting — more on that on my next blog!
