What Is Circuit Training?

Circuit Training is a workout that combines periods of high-intensity cardio and resistance training designed to be easy to follow and target fat loss, muscle building and heart-lung fitness.

An exercise "circuit" is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first exercise again for another circuit.

Traditionally, the time between exercises in circuit training is short, often with rapid movement to the next exercise.
