Riley’s circuit training program is the solution if you wish to develop endurance, increase strength, and break a sweat in little time.
Combining many exercises back-to-back with little break in between, circuit training provides a complete-body workout that maintains a high heart rate and increases muscular mass.
The finest of both worlds is circuit training. Riley says you concentrate on strength and get a fantastic cardio session. ” Especially when I’m pressed for time, this is my preferred approach to keep fit.”
Riley’s Circuit for Strength and Endurance
Riley’s preferred circuit sequence is broken out here:
45 seconds for a jump squat Launch the circuit with an explosive action. Targeting your legs and glues, jump squats increase heart rate.
45-second push-ups An old-fashioned exercise for upper body power. To get the most out of either modified or full push-ups, keep your form solid.
45 seconds, Plank to Shoulder Taps Holding a plank position and alternating shoulder taps helps you work your core and shoulder stability. This is an excellent approach to develop upper body control and basic endurance.
45 seconds for mountain climbers In a plank posture, bring your knees fast-paced towards your chest to engage your core and increase your heart rate.
45 seconds dumbbell rows. Working on your back strength, grab a set of dumbbells and run through rows. Maintaining straight back, draw the weights nearer your torso.
Rest (1 minute) Rest one minute after finishing the round, then repeat the circuit three to four times for an intense workout.
Riley comments, “This is a fast, forceful, really effective program. Under thirty minutes, it gets my muscles blazing and my pulse racing.
Anyone who wishes to increase cardiovascular fitness and develop functional strength will find considerable benefit from circuit training. Perfect for all fitness levels, it’s demanding, effective.
