What are some tips for getting the most out of circuit training?

Tips For Effective Circuit Training

Circuit training can be an extremely effective way to work out, as long as you know how to do the exercises properly. Be sure you are getting the most out of your workout by employing the following smart tips:

  • Pace things well. Doing exercises too quickly can lessen the effect on the muscles and also contribute to injury.
  • Breathe. Holding your breath during exercises can raise your blood pressure.
  • Increase difficulty slowly. Work up to heavier weights or more repetitions rather than making big leaps forward.
  • Don't forget to rest. Working the same muscle groups several days in a row may not be the best thing. Try and switch off, emphasizing arms one day and legs the next.
  • Know proper form. If you are not sure how to do an exercise, find out by asking an employee of the gym. Proper form is important to maximize the positive impact of each exercise and to protect your body against injury.
  • Switch things up. Doing the same routine each time lulls your muscles into a relaxed state and can slow down progress. Try to alternate exercises frequently for maximum benefit.
If you know how to get the most out of your circuit training routine, you will get better results for the time you put in exercising. Try using some of the tips above to make sure you are doing all you can to reap the benefits of this type of training.
