circuit training ideas

[ButchLady]

hello i am looking for a circuit training advice that someone can help share with me. I am in my mid 30's and i am 140 pounds and already workout almost everyday but getting bored with my workouts and want to try something new. i want to get more cut and defined and my gym has a circuit training area. do i do 1 set each and go to next machine and how effective is this workout?

You should go high intensity cardio -> full body training -> cross fit circuit for a good split.

my old gym had a circuit training section and i would see old people doing that. I don't think it is going to be effective because you are barely working the muscles jumping to each machine.

in fact i would say it is completely useless. only good to maybe work up a sweat. better than sitting on the couch but a pitiful way to train the body to improve unless you are an old person

So ask at the gym,

have you ever thought about taking a group fitness class instead?

Something that is super easy to mix in is cardio between your weight lifting sets. You can do something simple like step ups. Say you are doing bench press for example. Do your set and go right into step ups for your desired "rest" time. Then jump immediately into your next set of bench press. If you were doing 7 exercises that were 3 sets each and performed 30 seconds step ups, that would be like adding 10.5 minutes of intense cardio to the mix.

I dont train like that so I dont know. Ask a cross fitter. That's basically what it is
