CIRCUIT TRAINING

I had a great workout today. Just though of sharing. As I promised, I will be giving away some interesting fat burning exercises. Before i start, I want you to remember that you only need 45 minutes to one hour to complete your workout. Be it fat burning or body building, NEVER exceed that limit. With that said here is how you should start off. If you're a beginner I suggest you start with light weights (men & women). Not light enough that you can swing it around, but make sure it's challenging enough.

*Always warm up before you perform any exercises: walking,cycling, stair climbing, skipping ropes, jumping jacks etc ( as long as you get your heart pumping) for 5-7 minutes

One great way to push yourself to the edge to burn extra calories is by performing CIRCUIT TRAINING. Circuit Training is a set of 6-7 different exercises that are rotated without rests in between workouts. Here is an example of a circuit training:

10 reps of presses

8 reps of dumbbell rows, each arm

8 reps of deadlifts

10 reps of dumbbell chest press

10 reps of dumbbell step ups, each leg

1 minute of sprinting on the treadmill

These exercises comprise a set. Perform these exercises without resting till the end, then rest for 60-90 minutes and repeat two more sets, making it a total of 3 sets. Then stretch all body group muscles.

Do this for at least 4 weeks then switch to a new workout. It's always more challenging as a beginner, but once you get the hang of it, it becomes easier, which is a sign that you need to switch to a new workout.

***When performing deadlifts, keep your back locked at all times (THIS IS CRUCIAL SO YOU DON'T INJURE YOUR BACK), just make sure you perform this in good form, do it nice and slow

*** make sure you lock your knees on the way up and keep it slightly bent so you don't injure your knees
