Mini-circuits

Circuits are an excellent method to improve your fitness and burn fats. I use a type of circuit which I called Mini-circuit on myself and clients. Instead of having multiple stations, you concentrate on performing 2 exercises in a sequence as fast as possible. I feel that it allows you to have better focus and effort rather than performing multiple exercises. Since there are only 2 exercises, you can try more challenging exercises.

Sample of a mini-circuit

Exercise A - Upper body exercise x number of reps

Exercise B - Lower body exercise x number of reps
  • Number of reps - Can be same or different for exercise A and B
  • Completing exercise A and B - 1 round or set
  • Perform a specific number of rounds or perform AMAP number of rounds. 
  • Exercises could target different or similiar muscle groups.
In this sample, I choose an upper body exercise such as push-up and a lower body exercise such as squat. You can perform the more challenging exercise first or use more reps for the easier exercise.You can even come up with a few mini-circuits and perform them in the same workout.

For more info on how to utilize it accordingly, please check out my 3 training concepts in an earlier post.
