Total Body Circuit Routine

Workout Description

The total body circuit routine combines the most effective exercises for each body part, performed (you guessed it) as circuit workouts. We’ve thrown small bursts of cardio into the mix to fuse this workout into the perfect all round fitness, weight loss and toning workout.

Main Goal: Weight loss, build tone
Days Per Week:
3
Type of Workout:
Circuits
Number of weeks:
8

Workout Notes: This workout (like all workouts) is tweakable to whatever your goals are. The primary goal is towards losing fat and maintaining/adding lean muscle. Notice all the chest exercises I’ve included above are incline. This is because the workout above has been specifically created to cater for my own personal workout goals. At the time of creating and using this workout, my secondary requirements were to improve my inner chest line. I was also concentrating on improving my biceps, without neglecting other body parts. For this reason chin-ups and underhand barbell rows have been included. Both are back exercises but also excellent bicep exercises. Remember to use each workout as a template. If you are relatively experienced try tweaking the workouts towards your own goals.
