Cardio Circuit Training

Do you want to go to the gym but feels encumbered by anxiety & self-consciousness? Do work & a hectic schedule prevent you from having a physically fit & healthy lifestyle? Are you away from home often & miss you your regular aerobics class at the gym? There is no need to fret anymore because cardio circuit training is the answer to all your troubles.

Cardio circuit training is a type of cardio exercise where the individual completes one set of exercise & immediately proceed to the next set in rapid succession & with hardly any rest. Cardio circuit training is unlike any other exercise programs because it is not dependent upon equipments & machines to accomplish the exercises. This means that you can do cardio circuit training in the comfort of your home. You no longer need to worry about beating the traffic just to get to the gym in time, because you know no matter what time you get home you will still be able to do your cardio! The best part of cardio circuit training is the psychological motivation that you give yourself. This time around, exercising will be a personal commitment & not a must-do.

The body is divided into different zones, the Upper, the Middle & the Lower zone. Your goal is to target all these zones one at a time & one after the other with as little rest as possible in between.

• Upper Zone – There are different exercise that focus on the upper zone. Push-ups have always been favored for developing chest muscles, triceps & shoulders and has spawned many variations like the half push-up where elevation only includes the torso & ends at the knees. Dips are also great for shaping the triceps & the chest.

• Middle Zone – The abdominal area has always been a focus of both sexes. There is nothing worse than seeing a bulge in your midsection ruining a great outfit. Crunches & sit-ups have always been revered as the ultimate solution to an unwelcome paunch & it still retains its reputation as the number one abdominal trimmer. Bent knee leg lifts, although a little bit more difficult than sit-ups & crunches, are also very effective at working at those lower abs.

• Lower Zone – The leg is one of the sexiest part of the human anatomy. But a flabby pile of fat wiggling somewhere in your lower zone is never attractive. Cardio exercises such as running, jumping rope & spot running are great ways to firm your lower zone. For additional toning you can also use free weights when you do your lunges & squats.

Cardio circuit training is great for women who want to lose all those extra fat but don’t really want to gain a lot of muscle mass. Women tend to store more body fat than men do, its not their fault that’s just how they are made. Losing weight is therefore a whole lot harder for women than it is for men but cardio circuit training can change all that!

All women want a slimmer, well-toned body that emphasizes a tiny waste & all her womanly curves. And she knows the road to her ideal body is dotted with bumps & obstacles, but with cardio circuit training no woman need to be afraid of exercise anymore! This is the time to say goodbye to those dimpled thighs & wiggly love handles!

Well....easier said/wrote than done though. I've done it twice. First, on early April when huffed and puffed and panted halfway through then practically dragged my feet a quarter of the time before finally gave up the final quarter of the training. Second time was today. I had the benefit of two months worth of exercises to build up stamina. Needless to say...I breezed through the most part of it. But slowed down the last few minutes. Still......nak pengsan!!!!

Truth is...this stuff is great and I'd be happy to do it once in a while, just to see how far could my body could go but, really, not everyday. Not even once a week :)
