What Are Circuit Routines?

Circuit routines are quick, full-body workouts where you move from one exercise to the next without stopping much. It’s like a loop: Do Exercise 1, then 2, then 3, and so on—then repeat the whole loop a few times. No fancy gym needed—just your body or simple items like dumbbells.

How Do They Work?

• Pick 4-6 exercises (e.g., squats, push-ups, jumping jacks).

• Do each for 30-60 seconds or 10-15 reps.

• Rest 10-30 seconds between exercises.

• Finish one full loop (circuit), rest 1-2 minutes, then repeat 3-5 times.

• Total time: 15-30 minutes.

Why Try Them?

• Burn calories and build muscle at once.

• Great for beginners and on the go busy people looking to get a good exercise quickly

• Keeps things fun—no boredom from repeating the same move.

Easy Example: Beginner Full-Body Circuit

1. Squats (stand and sit like in a chair) – 10 reps.

2. Push-ups (on knees if needed) – 8 reps.

3. Plank (hold like a push-up position) – 20 seconds.

4. Jumping jacks – 30 seconds.

Do all four, rest briefly, and repeat 3 times. Start slow and build up!
