A Circuit Training Weight Loss Program…
If you are trying to come up with a circuit training weight loss program, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. One of the major benefits of circuit training is that you are able to train for strength and stamina at the same time. These workouts are often short and tough, which isn’t optimal for fat burning.
So, a circuit training weight loss program should have more thought toward fat loss. Two quick tips will help you with that.
First, keep your intensity level moderately low. It shouldn’t be easy, but you shouldn’t be huffing and puffing either (yet). Try to keep your intensity at a level where you can still carry on a conversation. It’s OK to be breathing a bit heavy, but you shouldn’t be gasping for air. That’s a different workout with a different purpose.
Second, extend your workout. This goes hand-in-hand with the first tip. You will burn more calories if you exercise at a moderate intensity over a long period of time.
Of course, you can have the best of both worlds. Try doing your circuit training as quick exercise workouts to build strength and stamina, with occasional longer workouts that will burn calories and fat. If you exercise to a comfortable stop - not overexerting yourself - you should be able to exercise every day if you want.
