I think ciruit training is very good for over all conditioning and fitness. Can use share your circuit routines or good exercises i can use in a circuit. Thanks in advance..
you get in a press up postion ten brng your knees to your chest and bring them back to the strartin position
My workout at the moment is centered around building muscle mass and remaining lean - reducing overall bodyfat percentage. I sometimes worry that doing circuits will have me burning muscle as my heart rate is well out of my fat burning zone.....
Thats why you have a proper diet and take protein and glutamine supplaments if you need them. Thats the whole point of doing the circuit so i can get my heart rate through the roof and condition my body aswell. Im not looking at bulking up, just gaining some lean muscle but mainly strength, cut some body fat and mainly fitness for when i fight.
im looking for exercises that will get my heart rate as high as it can go. Something anaerobic and aerobic exercises..
yeah we already do burpees, i know there one of the best exercises you can do, does anyone know some exercises for upper body whilst still getting the heart rate racing..
punch out drills, med ball slams, band pulls, power overs, high knee dumbell presses etc. Use you imagination...
Yeah, this was more for my personal gains / goals. Was after a bit of feedback myself really. My personal trainer swears by them for increasing fitness. I quite enjoyed them but haven't been for a few weeks now because I'm not convinced they are helping me achieve my goal.
Fair enough, we obviously have different goals, maybe circuit work isnt suited to what you want to achieve. I definatly know they will help me achieve my goals..I just need to find the best exercises for a overall body strength and conditioning routine.
Some advanced boxercise classes are really good. They ran them at my old gym and my fitness levels were through the roof whilst I was doing them.
I was thinking about looking into a boxercise for fitness. My gym is strictly just boxing, pretty much only trains fighters. Ive heard those boxercise are good for getting you fit. I might have a look into it.
