Circuit Training

I started working on the Mumbai marathon project this morning. Started off with a circuit training and if you really want a challenging work out, just try this one out. This helps in the development of both your lower and your upper body and makes you stronger every time you repeat the exercise.

1) 400 mts in 1 min 20 sec
2)12 burpees
3) 3 chin ups
4) 12 pushups
5) 30 abs
6) 24 body squats
7) 400 mts in 1 min 20 sec
8) 10 body squats using 10 pound dumbbells
9) 12 elevated push-ups
10) 10 bench dips (for triceps)
11) 30 reverse abs (low back extensions)
12) 15 lunges with each leg
13) 400 mts in 1 min 20 sec

Repeat 2-13 twice ( the entire set of exercises between 2 to 13 is called the circuit )

Points to remember:

a) no more than 30 second breaks between the exercises
b) The exercises should be repeated slowly
c) Stretch before and after the entire set of circuit
d) No more than two circuits per week and give it a 48 hour break
e) Increase your repetitions as your body becomes used to the circuit
