Study Notes

Circuit Training Overview

Circuit training involves a guided workout that combines aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises in a continuous flow.

What is an Exercise Circuit?

An exercise 'circuit' consists of 8-12 exercise stations, each with a specific exercise to be completed in a specific time frame (usually 30-60 seconds).

Completing a Circuit

When one circuit is completed, participants typically take a brief rest (1-2 minutes) before repeating the circuit 2-5 times.

Origin of Circuit Training

The circuit training program was developed by R.E. Morgan and G.T. Anderson in 1953 at the University of Leeds.

Typical Circuit Training Activities

Typical activities in a circuit training program include aerobic exercises (jogging, jumping jacks), strength training exercises (push-ups, lunges), and flexibility exercises (stretching, yoga poses).
