Circuit training has taken North America by storm recently. It is no mystery why it's popularity has grown so much. The benefits of circuit training for men and women are being realized by people all over the globe.
Benefits of Circuit Training

Significant improvement in cardiovascular fitness with short bursts of intense exercise.
Compound exercises that use several muscle groups at one time.
Typically burn more calories than a regular strength training session.
Can be tailored to your individual fitness level.
No expensive equipment needed.
Most circuits can be done in any size of workout area.
Can provide a complete, whole body workout.
No muscle bulk because there is no heavy lifting.
Targets fat loss, muscle building and cardiovascular fitness all in one session.
Incorporated maximal effort in minimal time.
Each person can work at their own pace and level because most sessions are timed rather than having to complete a certain number of repetitions.
If you have been considering circuit training, talk to a personal trainer who can set up a program specific to your goals. Often, combining a strength training program along with a circuit training program can give you desired results without having you spend countless hours on the dreaded treadmill each week. Or think about joining a boot camp class which uses circuit training at each session.
