Using PowerBlock Dumbbells in circuit training which is a combination of high-intensity aerobics and resistance training designed to be easy to follow, will give you a great workout, and target fat loss, muscle building and heart-lung fitness. An exercise “circuit” is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program; the idea being that when one circuit is complete, you start at 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. A complete circuit takes about 15 minutes total time, involves five exercises and requires one set of PowerBlock Dumbbells and one step platform or equivalent of at least 6 inches.

Using Powerblock Adjustable Dumbbells is very convenient because of the different weights you’ll need throughout the different exercises.The dumbbells should be of a weight so that the maximum number of repetitions of the upper body exercises, the overhead press and arm curl, is 10-12 repetitions, and not much more for one set. It’s important that these weights are heavy enough to build strength and muscle. The lower body exercises, the weighted lunge and the squat, are done with the same dumbbells at the side allowing more flexibility. The circuit exercise variables, dumbbell weight, number of repetitions, number of circuits, can be adjusted to get the kind of workout required depending on your fitness and training goals.
