So what is the most effective way to burn fat and gain endurance? For a while now it has been popular belief that the answer is cardio. Now, I am not saying cardio is not a great way to burn fat and gain endurance but what if I told you there is a way to accomplish your goal in about half the time? How? The answer is circuit training , circuit training involves following several planned workouts performed back to back with about 15 seconds of rest between sets. You see, there are hundreds of ways to perform circuit training routines, look them up….there is tons. The special thing about the routine I am about to show you is this, instead of jumping from machine to machine, I am going to show you a routine you can do with just a barbell, same weight for every workout and can be performed from the privacy of your own home. Try jumping from machine to machine for circuit training at a gym full of people, not going to work. At least with this circuit training routine you can perform the entire thing in one spot.
The weight of the barbell is going to depend on you. It is going to depend on your fitness level so the first thing you want to do is find the right weight for you. I am going to list a series of exercises; the way this will work is you will perform ten reps of each exercise. Each exercise will be performed one after the other with about 15 seconds of rest in between. Once you have completed the last exercise in the circuit training routine, take a 2-3 minute rest. Then you will start all over again from the beginning; try to do that about 3 times. You will notice that the more you do this circuit training routine, the more times you will be able to perform it. The goal is to work up to the point where you can perform the routine 8 times on a regular basis. Remember, doing regular cardio/endurance training, you will plateau a lot faster than if you were doing circuit training. With that being said, you will see better results faster by doing circuit training.
