Takes the participant through a series of exercise stations (which could also include strength training), with relatively brief rest intervals between each station. The purpose is to keep the heart rate elevated near the aerobic level without dropping off. The number of stations may range from 4 to 10.

Exercise regimen combining aerobics and use of weight-resistance equipment.

An all-body workout with very limited use for a serious bodybuilder, but is great for a "weekend warrior" looking to say in shape and keep the love handles off. A kind of circular training where the training goes through 10-15 different machines training different parts of the body, giving every major muscle group moderate stimulation in a short period of time while adding some cardiovascular benefit to boot.

method of weight training using 10-12 exercises for the complete body. They are performed in succession with only short rest periods, hence gaining both anaerobic and aerobic benefits.

A series of exercise machines set up in sequence. The exercises are performed one after the other, each stressing a different muscle group.

is a series of exercises, performed one after the other, with little rest between.

a weight training technique in which you move rapidly from exercise to exercise without rest.

An exercise plan that improves mobility, builds strength, and increases stamina by utilizing a group of six to 10 exercises that are completed one after another on weight-resistance equipment. Each exercise is performed for a certain number of repetitions separated by brief rest intervals. There is also a rest period before starting the next exercise.

A special form of bodybuilding through which you can simultaneously increase aerobic conditioning, muscle mass, and strength. In circuit training, you will plan a series of 10-20 exercises in a circuit around the gym. The exercises chosen should stress all parts of the body. These movements are performed with an absolute minimum of rest between exercises. Then at the end of a circuit, a rest interval of 2-5 minutes is taken before going through the circuit again. Three-five circuits would constitute a circuit-training program.

A series of resistance-training exercises that work all the major muscle groups; usually done in sequence on machines with a brief rest period in between each exercise.

Exercise which involves moving from various workout stations after a specified amount of time, often using different pieces of fitness equipment. The various exercise stations can involve only weight training, or intervals of higher intensity cardio respiratory activity. Circuit training workouts are designed to maximize a personâ€(tm)s strength and endurance while adding muscle tone and definition.

Going quickly from one exercise apparatus to another and doing a prescribed number of exercises or time on each apparatus, keeps pulse rate high and promote overall fitness, by generally working all muscle groups as well as heart and lungs.

Exercise plan utilizing six to ten exercises that are completed one after another on weight-resistance equipment to increase mobility, strength, and stamina. Each exercise is performed for a certain number of repetitions.

a combination of aerobic and weight training exercises arranged in a circuit or sequence.

Physical conditioning system, in which one moves from one exercise to another on weight-resistance equipment in order to increase strength, stamina, mobility and cardiovascular fitness.

The blending of aerobics and high-energy workout with weight-resistance equipment such as that produced by Nautilus, Klesser, or Universal. On a circuit, you put yourself through a series of training stations, stopping only briefly before each exercise to keep your heart rate within an acceptable range throughout the circuit.

Selected exercises or activities performed in sequence.

Circuit training is a form of group gym exercise in which strength exercises are combined with endurance exercises. A number of carefully selected stations will be positioned around the facility consecutively, which may be weight training, resistance training, squat thrusts, pushups, burpees, star jumps, sit-ups or other exercises. Participants are assigned to each station, and they then rotate around the stations to the next with little or no rest performing 15 to 45 second workouts until all exercises have been completed or a certain time requirement achieved.
