Circuit training exercises has increasingly become more and more famous and rewarding in most fitness programs especially in different sports levels. The main goal for every form of exercise program is to improve performance, strength, endurance and efficiency. This is done within the shortest time possible. It is a fact that only very few people have allocated their free time to exercise daily and most of them have very little time to squeeze some type of workout routines into their very busy schedules. But to continue to live a healthy lifestyle, one should regularly do an effective and well-rounded exercise few minutes a day. This can be made possible through Circuit Exercises.

Circuit Training Exercises is very much applicable to all kinds of sports, climates, ages, in both sexes and in all degrees of professions. It is best described by example and that’s why for this purpose some schools and universities have large exercise rooms to be used by their faculty and students.

The way to demonstrate it is by having the circuit trainer enter this room and stand right in front of the first station. In this station there’s a mat on the floor where the trainer do ten sit ups. Moving to the next station, he must then do two pull- ups under a bar. He must then quickly move to the 3rd station where he should run in place for about a hundred steps.

The next step is to perform all the required exercises moving from one station to another until all the exercises are completed at every station. Using a timer, he should record the time he took to complete the whole circuit training exercises.

The goals for this type of training is to complete the exercises within a short period of time and to do an exercise that involves the whole body. It is also important to change the exercises at every station to workout the different body parts.

Some people do the circuit training exercises in a way that is fun and interesting for them. For instance, a boxer may integrate this type of workout to his boxing exercise routine. Others use a popular dance called Zumba.

So far, the workouts that has been mentioned above serves specific purposes. There are of course other types of exercise programs but most are for the amateur athletes or professionals whose main goal is to compete. They are mainly focused on breaking some records and to be superior in performance. Competition of course is not just for the stars but also for the mediocre who is more interested in competing so everyone should be allowed to do so. But for those whose main goal is to be fit and enjoy a healthy lifestyle, circuit training exercises is the way to go.
