The optimal regularity of the practice of circuit training
Exercising regularly is the key to losing weight and toning your body, so try to do it more than once a week!
Having dream muscles or a toned body is not achieved in a day but with perseverance and great motivation. As an athlete, you should set goals for the duration and pace of your circuit training sessions to optimize your body strengthening exercises!
The duration of a circuit training session: The optimal regularity of the practice of circuit training
After setting a specific goal (lose weight, improve your metabolism, strengthen the abdominal belt, etc.), you need to set yourself for the entire duration of the session (not counting the warm-up and stretching). This is given by the duration of the exercises, as well as by the recovery time between each circuit.
As a beginner, your circuit training session will not exceed 15-20 minutes.
In fact, counting between 15 and 20 seconds for each exercise, a rest period of at least 2 minutes after each circuit and 5 circuits in total, you should reach a maximum total of 18 minutes doing 5 exercises per circuit. Remember that recovering well is essential, as well as having a bottle of water nearby and not choosing too intense exercises.
As a moderate athlete, your circuit training session should not exceed 25 minutes.
The time for each exercise should not exceed 30 seconds and the recovery time should not exceed 1 minute and a half. Therefore, for 5 circuits of 5 exercises, the session will last less than 25 minutes. Vary your exercises with cardiovascular exercises, abdominal belt strengthening exercises, and muscle strength exercises.
As a top athlete, your circuit training session will last about 30 minutes.
If you have approximately 1 minute of effort for each exercise and a 1 minute recovery time between each circuit, for 5 circuits of 5 exercises, your session will last exactly 30 minutes. Between intense exertion, explosiveness and the test of breathing capacity, this training circuit is not recommended for beginners!
