Circuit training is a great way to get a lot of work done quickly, combining cardiovascular exercise with the benefits of weightlifting. This is one of the best ways to ramp up your metabolism.
Below you will find an example of a beginner level circuit routine using minimal equipment. All you will need for this is a physio ball, battle ropes and a TRX suspension system. Pretty much every gym has these now a days.
No gym membership? Home workout programs which need no equipment are on their way in the near future. Stay tuned.
Feel free to print this out and take it to the gym with you.
