Circuit training is a popular and enjoyable form of exercising that involves running through a series of different exercises. An exercise circuit includes a list of several different exercises. Completing the list once constitutes one circuit, and a workout involves several circuits.
A good circuit training workout will include exercises for several different body parts. Circuit training is typically used as a form of conditioning, and the exercises are usually done at moderate to high intensity. Depending on your goals, you may choose to have exercises that target individual body parts arranged together (to promote fatigue), or separated, to allow you to have a chance to rest between each exercise.
You do not need a lot of equipment to have a good circuit training workout. Exercises such as squat thrusts, push ups, burpees, star jumps, planks and shuttle runs can be done almost anywhere and require no equipment at all. If you have access to dumbbells or other weights then you can add a huge selection of other exercises.
A circuit training workout is usually performed using time limits, with trainees spending a fixed amount of time at each exercise station, and taking short breaks between each set. Typically, the objective of each workout is to see how many repetitions of each exercise you can do in the time limit. There are some popular workout routines, such as tabatta and crossfit that modify the basic idea of circuit training to make it more competitive and more intense.
The Benefits of Circuit Training Workouts
is the most efficient way to improve your cardiovascular capacity and your endurance. Circuit training helps to improve your VO2 max and is one of the most time-efficient ways of generating muscular fatigue. Circuit training workouts are also good for weight loss because they increase your heart rate and blood flow to your muscles, burning a lot of calories in the short term and producing a good “after burn” too. However, there are some risks to circuit training, especially if it is performed in a group environment.

One Size Doesn’t Fit All
Circuit training is often performed in gym classes which have a range of participants of varying degrees of fitness. This poses some risks in that people may feel like they have to “keep up” with the rest of the class, so they try box jumps that are too high for them, or attempt to lift weights that are unsafe for their level of strength and fitness.
If you are a circuit training novice and you are struggling with the exercises in your boot camp or fitness class, don’t just try to keep going. Speak to the instructor and ask them to help you modify the exercise or find a safer way to do it. You may need to substitute one exercise for another until your fitness improves. There is nothing wrong with this. It is better to do some exercises than to do none at all, and you will see fitness improvements as long as you keep showing up and working hard.
When Daniel Craig stepped out of the surf on a Bahamas beach, he melted women around the world and spiked browser searches from guys looking for that incredible James Bond physique. Fitness marketers capitalized on the moment by offering the usual bodybuilding-style workouts and labeling them Bond. But anyone who knows anything about tactical ops wasn’t fooled.
A guy like Bond needs more than show muscle to save the world — he needs serious go muscle — because it isn’t enough to look pretty when Blofeld comes calling. And when real life secret agents need go muscle, they turn to TACFIT Commando.
The entire TACFIT Commando program is bodyweight-only and can be completed in about the same amount of space you’d need to lie down in. It only takes 20 minutes, but we’ve packed it with an intensity and fat melting power most athletes don’t even tap in a full hour of training — because real-world tactical operators don’t have time to piss around.
As if that weren’t enough, TACFIT will also teach you a few of the slick moves used by real life spies in the field. You’ll be able to run, jump and slide like Bond in that crazy opening parkour sequence and you’ll floor the ladies just like he did when you walk up the beach.
Life doesn’t get any cooler than that.
Train Just Like The Guys Who Are The REAL DEAL
TACFIT Commando is based on actual programs “Flow Coach” Scott Sonnon is using right now to train Israeli counter-terrorism, SEALs and secret service, American special ops personnel, bodyguards to the Italian Prime Minister, US federal agents, firemen, law enforcement agencies and MMA fighters.
“Wouldn’t you like to get your hands on the very same training methods these guys demand—high performance workouts that are fast, intense, and can be done anywhere, anytime.”
There’s a reason why women are obsessed with those firefighter calendars. Real-life heroes have to stay fit to stay safe on the job, but the high-intensity training methods they use also keep them shredded and “photo-ready.”
