Circuit Training Tips For New Exercise Ideas

Want to know a few circuit training tips that will help you develop some new exercise ideas that fall way outside of the box of boring and traditional? Here are a few ways, new and innovative, to incorporate the fat blasting power of circuit training with some cutting edge exercises techniques that will provide great results with a wide spectrum of possibilities.

Surge training is a new type of exercise that challenges the philosophy of traditional training, while maximizing fat loss and cutting gym time into a fraction of what is usually considered effective. The problem with standardized exercise programs is that they tend to stake all of their findings on a generalized, averaged basis. This means that it tries to marginalize the spectrum of different fields of data to make room for all scientific findings.

Surge training happens to be on the cutting edge of scientific studies, and is of the mindset that you can get a great, high intensity, short circuit workout done in less than 15 minutes and still see results.

An example of a Surge Training workout would include a lot of body weight exercises, like reverse lunges, jumping squats, bodyweight squat, plank, mountain climbers, and a bodyweight push up on a balance ball, with none of the exercises lasting longer than 20 seconds. If this rotation is completed three times at that rapid-fire speed your body will be so spent, that you will feel like you have just gotten in a long workout at the gym. After finishing, you will notice that your body responds to high intensity training much better than getting in hours at the gym, and you will notice in less time you will see better results. This is a modified circuit, but the speed interval aspect of the training makes all the difference.

Another unique way to make circuit training fresh is to take it outside! Too many people think that the parameters of a gym and the weight rack are the only tools that you can use to successfully put together an effective circuit-training program. The truth is that our bodies carry all the weight we need in and of itself to challenge our muscles and in turn build tone; we just have to isolate them correctly and in the right environment. In the park, you can find all sorts of ways to step up your program, literally!
