Circuit training combines resistance training and high-intensity aerobics in order to maximize your results at the gym. It helps build strength and endurance at the same time.
One circuit means completing one set of all exercises in the program. Usually, rest periods are shorter between sets because you can focus on different muscle groups back to back. The idea is to keep your body moving at all times, and complete the exercises quickly.
This is why circuit training is great for days when your time is tighter than usual. It’s also great for getting in a full body workout.
