Circuit training is a fun way to get fit.

It is also an excellent form of training to help people to stay motivated as you get a variety of exercises to perform in the course of a training session.

A well-designed fitness-training program will also target all the muscles of the body so you will be getting a full body workout at each session.

If you are not a member of a gym it is possible to design your own circuit-training program for home.

The equipment you have will determine much of the program but it is possible to design a circuit-training program based around exercises that only use your own body weight.

It can also include indoor or outdoor activity and include walking and running as part of the training program.

A stereo at home or an ipod for outside training can add to the fun just as you would get as a member of a gym. I know that music really helps me keep going.

As with all forms of training it is good to keep a record of your results and always challenge yourself to do better.
It can be quite surprising sometimes how we forget how much we have progressed over the course of a few weeks or months, if you have records you will be able to see your times improving, the weight that you are using increasing.

Try this circuit following a warm up..

Work for 30 seconds and then take 30 seconds rest.

Bodyweight Squat

Push Ups

Walking lunge

Modified pull ups using the gym rings

Burpees

I did 3 sets of this, and it was plenty ! ;0p  If you are just starting out 1 time through is great, then next time go for 2 times through.

Dont forget to stretch after your workout.

What I love about this type of exercising is that you do not need to do cardio training as well, you can do this anywhere, OK so the pull ups need some sort of bar, gym ring, but there are plenty of playgrounds out there that sit empty !
