Circuit Machines?

Ayla121

So my gym bought out a small local gym so now there are a lot of new members at my location. The only time I have to workout is in the morning before work. It used to be dead but now there are quite a few people there and they all take up the free weights / cables.

I was thinking of switching to a full body circuit workout on the weight machines. Ex: leg curl, leg press, preacher curl machine, vertical press machine, etc. Ive seen people do circuits as in they do the 9 machines in a row, take a 30 second break and do another circuit. I was wondering if anyone has had any luck with this type of workout?

My goal is fat loss. Im 5'4", 141lbs, started at 168 and goal weight is 125. Body fat is at 25%. Im eating about 1400-1500 cals a day.

I have a similar problem and use machines but i would never do a full body workout

Bad idea in my opinion, 30 secs is not a long enough break for a starters plus most of the exercises will give minimal results due to fatigue, i use mainly machines as the free weights and cables get clogged up, i try to keep it structured though

some ideas:

- go at a different time when it's less busy
- ask to work in

but if i did what pray tell would you have to do with your time. besides that i'm doing a public service, my post allows you to be a jerkface which undoubtedly saves the lives of all the puppies and kittens you'd be kicking otherwise
