Circuit is like a mixture of cardio and strength training. It basically makes you do 500 things at once. I've never done it but my co-worker talks about it all the time and it sounds like the worst thing ever. Cute Togepi btw.

Circuit training is a combination of cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. You will gain some measure of strength, but it's primarily cardio and muscular endurance training. Perhaps semantics (but not really)...but strength training is it's own thing and is done to optimize strength and is generally done with heavy weights as a % of your max on a particular lift with low reps and focuses on compound movements and will have much more rest between sets and movements.

So what im doin is right ?!
Can you suggest any strength workout?!
Lol thanks

I read your comment in a different thread that you don't want to do weight lifting though, is that correct?

Not that i dont want to , but lots of people say i have to do strength two times a week to not lose my muscles
I just got confused cause i do a full hour of video but dont know if it was mix of cardio and strength or just cardio and i got scared
You know jillian michael?! banish fat metabolism
There are 7 circuits with jumping , burpees, high knees, plank, front kicks, squats ,abs, montain climbers )
Is that a mix and enough??

I don't really do circuit training, but I think as long as you're having enough protein you should be okay

Would you suggest a youtube video or a table of weightlifting exercises that i can use for strength trainint

I think you're fine doing circuits...there is an element of resistance involved and that's what is important to minimizing muscle loss...that coupled with adequate protein and a reasonable calorie deficit.

If you want to do actual strength training, to my knowledge there really aren't videos or anything for that...and you'd likely need to get into a properly equipped gym unless you could build your own at home.
