Try This Circuit Training Fat Loss Workout

Fast and Effective Dumbbell Conditioning Fat Loss Circuit
Most people feel that they don’t have time to perform conditioning workouts or fit fat loss sessions on top of their normal strength training.

This is definitely not the case. High intensity, resistance training circuits are designed to get the most impact in the shortest amount of time.

" Benefits of Resistance Training Circuits "

■ high lactic acid => natural GH response

■ rapid fat loss

■ increased metabolism

■ muscular strength endurance

■ mental toughness

* How Do You Design a Fat Loss Circuit Training Workout? *

Pick an implement and get to work. It is that simple. It could be your own bodyweight, kettlebells, dumbbells, barbells, sandbag, medicine ball, thick ropes, Olympic plates or even a combination of any of these. The idea is to move quickly between exercises and complete the circuit. As you become better conditioned you can perform the circuits for multiple runs, ie. hit the circuit, rest briefly and then hit it again.

* How Do You Increase the Intensity of the Circuit? *

■ perform more runs through the circuit

■ perform more reps for each exercise in the circuit

■ increase the weight of the sandbag

■ decrease the rest time between runs

■ increase the tempo (duration of concentric or eccentric phases)
