In loosing weight, just strictly doing aerobic, cardio type workouts seem to have limitations because muscle tends to be lost along with the fat and keeping the muscle you have or even better, increasing muscle should be your goal. A circuit program has been described as one in which you move from exercise to exercise quickly in order to maximize the intensity and variety of the workout. Interval training is broadly defined as repetitions of high- speed/ intensity work followed by periods of rest or low activity.
Combining interval training and circuit training including weights and cardio, provide a useful workout for general fitness and weight loss. Exercises that can be done in circuit include dumbbell arm curls, overhead presses, along with a walk, or a good jog on a treadmill, and step ups which can be performed on a Bosu Ball to help with balance and coordination. Bowflex SelectTech 552 Dumbbells are a great way to perform your weight training portion of the circuit because they provide you with what 30 dumbbells can do with just this easily adjustable and durable pair.
