Doin' More With Less

I've been telling y'all for a while now that circuit training is a great cardio workout, but I know some of y'all aren't convinced yet.

So let's look at why it is.

First of all, circuit training - as long as it's done correctly - which includes:

-the right kinds of exercises
-everything done in the right order
-the right amount of weight being used (for the sets/reps)
-the right kinds of "active rest" (stuff that keeps you working while you're "resting)
-and more...

This kind of training is tons better than normal "cardio".

It's better than longer, slower, "distance" cardio, b/c it's so much more intense. You're going to burn many more calories during a workout that's the same length (i.e. - you'll burn more calories during a 30 min circuit training workout than you will a 30 mins cardio workout).

And b/c the workout *is* more intense, your metabolism is gonna stay "jacked up" and you'll continue to burn calories long after the workout is over, too...something long, boring cardio doesn't do.

Circuit training also has a ton of other awesome benefits "cardio" doesn't:

-it won't burn out the nervous system like hardcore interval training will

-no repetitive or overuse injuries, shock, or trauma to the joints like distance cardio can cause

-just as effective on the upper body as it is the lower body (how many cardio workouts work the upper body?)

-builds muscle (which takes more calories to maintain...you're burning calories and losing weight even when you're not doing anything!)

Should I keep going? B/c I can...for a long time. But you should have gotten the hint by now. Circuit training is "where its at".

So now all you need is a good circuit training workout, right?
