Hi all,

Can someone point me in the right direction of a decent circuit training routine? I've had a look online and can't seem to find much in the way of a 'proper' routine.

Thanks!

    The Spartacus workout is a killer circuit routine:

    What do you mean by "proper"? Circuit training just means that you moves from one exercise to the next with little to no break in between.

    ETA: For example, you do 1 min of push ups, 10 sec break, 1 min of jumping jacks, 10 sec break, etc.

    If you want a circuit training workout that works AND kills you, check out Jillian Michael's 30 day shred dvd

    Besides Spartacus ( am doing version 1, here: http://www.menshealth.com/mhlists/high-intensity-circuit-routine/#ixzz1x33OHwnN)

    I did Jillian's 30 Day Shred and it is good too.
    A simple, no-equipment 25 minutes might be like this:
    30 seconds work, 30 second rest, 5 times through; takes 25 minutes total

    Jump Squats
    Pushups
    Alternating power lunges
    Mountain Climbers
    Burpees, no pushups

    Thanks guys will check that out. All I meant by 'proper' was that I couldn't find a set routine, just exercises that you could put into a set routine if that makes sense!

    I'm useless with trying to create my own routines :)

    Are you on pinterest? There's quite a few on there.

    Spartacus has three versions now, so you can rotate those, if needed.

    Good exercises for circuit: push ups, planks, mountain climbers, squats, squat jumps, tuck jumps, box jumps, burpees, jumpin jacks, tricep dips, switch lunges, prisoner squat jumps, side planks, etc.

    Highly recommend Jillian Michaels! I'm doing 30 Day Shred for the 2nd time at the moment :)
