“Life is a circuit .” - Mr. morphē

Introduction:

Circuit training is a form of total body toning and conditioning that consists of a series of sequential short bursts of resistance trainingexercises where each set of repetitions targets a difference muscle group in the body.  A “circuit” refers to the set of exercises included in the training session. Typically, the switch between exercises (or “stations”) happens quickly to enhance the cardiovascular benefits of the rotation.  By quickly switching from working one group of muscles to another, the body does not require a rest in metabolic rate between exercises; this continuity helps to accelerate and maintain increased heart rate, oxygen consumption and caloric burning.  Resistance training exercises are often combined with aerobics to further increase these benefits.  Many of my clients at Morphe notice that circuit training accelerates their metabolism, gets them to perspire more profusely, and promotes rapid weight loss and body sculpting.

With that said, here are 6 reasons why we love circuit training! 👊

1)            Circuit training targets different muscle groups individually, providing a focused conditioning and toning workout that sculpts and defines the entire body.

2)            Circuit training increases heart rate, oxygen consumption and combines the benefits of resistance training with the increased caloric burning power of aerobics!

3)            Circuits can consist of any variety of exercises, and may be adapted to any environment, such as an outdoor obstacle course where you do reps at each station.

4)            Circuit training is lively, challenging and FUN! It gets your adrenalin and endorphins flowing and helps your body detox through increased perspiration.

5)            Circuit training accelerates weight loss and body sculpting by increasing metabolic rate and stimulating caloric burning.

6)            And most importantly: Results! Circuit training delivers fast and dramatic results that mean you’ll look better this evening than you did when you got up this morning!
