Circuit Training Beats Cardio
Long, slow, boring aerobic exercise may get all the glory in the media. But you can get a lot more bang for your fitness buck with circuit training.
Brazilian researchers assigned subjects to a 12-week program of either cardio or total-body circuit training. Both groups exercised for 35 minutes three times per week. At the end of the study, both groups had increased their aerobic fitness by four percent. In addition, both groups had increased their leg strength by six percent. However, only the circuit-training group experienced benefits such as increased their upper-body strength too.
Even if you’re a beginner, your best bet for maximum gains is a total-body circuit-training program: strength training done with short rest periods between exercises. This is especially true if the amount of time you can commit to a workout program is limited.
