Many beginner athletes do not have a clear training method in mind when planning their training at the beginning. Most of what they can think of may still be based on the training methods of single items such as jumping, running, skipping rope, and basketball learned in school. And without supervision, these so-called training methods may also be difficult to implement if you cannot accurately measure the time, and the effect of explicit time training will be greatly discounted, and long-term training may not significantly improve your physical fitness.

It is said that 'specialization is the key.' In fact, when you start to try some slightly professional training, you may learn some knowledge about weightlifting or running, but even if you do, you cannot reasonably combine multiple training methods for training.

For example, when we go to the gym, we plan to train the chest muscles tomorrow, and train the back muscles the next day. But this kind of training is purely muscle hypertrophy training, which may not necessarily improve your overall fitness.

Through the above explanations, I mainly want to illustrate that there is no specific training subject and training purpose, and you cannot find out what the purpose of a certain exercise is. And without accurate information, you cannot find out if you are really making progress. Okay, next we will talk about circuit training.

Circuit training can be traced back to 1957. Although it is old, it is very popular now. Because circuit training is what people have recently known more about.

The five advantages of circuit training

• Significantly increase fat burning rate

Because circuit training combines strength circulation and aerobic training in a reasonable way, it can appropriately promote muscle growth, which can also improve the basic metabolism of the trainees, so the daily basic metabolism is increased, and the energy consumed is also more.

• Improve physical fitness

As a comprehensive training mode, circuit training integrates various training methods such as strength training and aerobic training, which can not only help fitness enthusiasts lose weight and lose fat, but also comprehensively improve physical fitness, including strength, endurance, explosiveness, and speed and coordination.

• Time saving

Many fitness enthusiasts say they don't have time, so circuit training doesn't require as much time as strength circulation, which takes several hours every day. Because circuit training is a high-efficiency, fast-paced training mode, a complete circuit training plan usually only takes 10-60 minutes.

• Break through the plateau

Circuit training can now improve the use of the user's cardiopulmonary function, promote fat burning, and after 10 weeks of strict circuit training, the body fat rate will decrease significantly.

• Exercise is not boring and monotonous

Unlike conventional strength circulation or aerobic training, the process of circuit training is full of fun and challenge. The time and location of circuit training are not limited, fitness enthusiasts can arrange time and training environment casually at home, in the park, or in the gym.

Recommended equipment for circuit training

If you train at home, I think the first piece of equipment we need is a good quality yoga mat.

Yoga mat has a wide range of functions, whether it is jumping or abdominal training or other training actions, as long as you are training at home barefoot, its function is much greater than you imagined.

The second piece of equipment I recommend is resistance bands

Whether male or female can use resistance bands to do body shaping fitness without going to the gym. If you underestimate it or think it's useless, that will be a big loss. In the current situation where it is impossible to go to the gym to exercise, resistance bands are of great help to muscle hypertrophy and circuit training.
