Circuits

Circuit training remains one of the most effective and efficient ways to promote overall muscular strength and aerobic endurance. Unlimited exercise variation and high intensity make circuit training one of the best ways to train effectively in a short period of time.

Franchises like Curves, and most exercise DVD's use a circuit training model because it is really the only form of strength training that can give you tangible results in a substantially reduced time period. However, we are not talking about squeezing into a leotard and stepping in place for 60-seconds. Real circuits are hard, fast, and intense. Maximum effort and minimum rest is the prerequisite for effective circuit training.

The following video highlights a series of 4-exercises that can be performed in a rotating circuit using Sport Sandbags. Walking overhead lunges challenge full body strength while Bag Pushes take your anaerobic capacity to the edge and then slightly beyond. Rope hauls target your upper back and arms, and highlite the amazing versatility of the Sport Sandbag system. The circuit ends with a unique twist on the ab crunch that will have you begging for mercy.
