Circuit training is where you choose two or more exercises and perform them back to back with little to no rest in between each exercise. Here's a great circuit workout you can do at home:
3 rounds of:
Isometric Horizontal Pull, 30 seconds
Leg Swoop, 10 repetitions on each side
Wall Squat, 30 seconds
Pillow Twist, 10 repetitions on each side
30 seconds rest
For this workout start off with a 30 second isometric horizontal pull. Follow up with 10 repetitions of leg swoops on each side, then move immediately to 30 seconds of a wall squat. Finish the circuit off with 10 pillow twists on each side.
Rest 30 seconds and repeat the entire circuit two more times. This workout will take you around 8-12 minutes, and is one of the best fat burning workouts I've performed. I tend to use unique bodyweight exercises when creating my workouts.
The biggest mistake I see people making is using the same old pushups, pullups, and bodyweight squat variations to design their workouts. Once you get strong enough, these movements will not give you the same results as they originally did.
So, you should always learn brand new bodyweight exercises and intensity techniques to challenge your body. I've learned many new bodyweight movements from Circular Strength Training. Circular Strength Training (CST) is a system of training designed by Coach ScottSonnon which focuses on variations in movement and direction.
CST bodyweight movements are actually derived from a variety of sources including dance, gymnastics, and yoga. This variety makes CST bodyweight exercises some of the most difficult and intense movements to conquer.
