Circuit Training
A sequence of exercises performed in order with minimal rest, then the whole circuit is repeated.
What is circuit training?
Circuit training strings together a series of exercises — often targeting different muscle groups — performed one after another with little to no rest in between. Once the full sequence is complete, you rest briefly, then repeat the entire circuit for multiple rounds.
Because circuits typically mix muscle groups rather than focusing on one area, they keep the body working continuously, which raises heart rate and builds conditioning alongside strength.
How to structure a circuit
Example circuit: Squats, push-ups, rows, and lunges — 12 reps each, moving straight from one to the next, then rest 1-2 minutes before repeating for 3-4 rounds.
Circuits can use timed stations instead of fixed reps (e.g., 40 seconds of work per station) for an even more conditioning-focused version.
Who circuit training works well for
Circuit training is a flexible format that works for almost any goal and fitness level — it's commonly used for general fitness, fat loss, and time-efficient full-body sessions when a single muscle group focus isn't the priority.
