Circuit training - Hoo
Circuit training involves performing a set of exercises in
short bursts and in rotation. Stations are usually sequenced to
alternate between muscle groups to allow for recovery.
Circuit training keeps your heart rate elevated throughout the
workout which promotes cardiovascular conditioning. Benefits
include improved energy levels, lower blood pressure, increased HDL
(good cholesterol) levels and improved endurance. It also increases
strength, improves posture, develops body tone, enhances muscle
balance and increases bone density, which helps prevent
osteoporosis.
Exercises can be varied and may include press-ups; bench dips,
leg raises, stomach crunches, dumbbell exercises, jumping jacks,
and squat jumps.
Remember that it is important to warm up beforehand and to cool
down afterwards. If you are unsure as to the suitability of this
strenuous form of exercise, please consult your doctor.
