who have done nothing to earn it, they sure as hell can afford to care for one sick person who can't care for herself. Maybe it's God's wish that she continues to live. If she dies now, part of her mother will die with her. She deserves to have her daughter for as long as God allows her to live. Let them enjoy what time they have together. They need your help ... so let's help them both by writing to your state senators and congressmen, asking that they keep her alive!

Circuit Training: Time Efficient Fitness

Amounts of Resistance/Repetitions

You can change uprepparttar amount of resistance and number of repititions also. For example, one week you might lift heavier weights in a lower rep range (say, from 8-12 reps per exercise). Then,repparttar 112866 next week you might lift lighter weights in a higher rep range (say, from 10-15). Or, do 8-12 reps with heavier weights for some exercises and 10-15 reps with lighter weights for others inrepparttar 112867 same workout. Then, you can reverse itrepparttar 112868 next workout.

Order of Exercises

You can change uprepparttar 112869 order of exercise you perform from week to week as well. For example, on weeks 1-2, you start with lower body exercises. Then, on weeks 3-4, you start with upper body exercises. Or, one week you start with ab exercises andrepparttar 112870 next week you end with them.

Equipment

You can also replace out equipment forrepparttar 112871 exact same bodyparts. For example, you can switch out free weights for machines (i.e. do flat bench dumbbell presses for a few weeks and then use a seated chest press machine forrepparttar 112872 next few weeks). Or, you can switch out compound joint movements (both joints working at once) for single joint movements (one joint working at a time). For example, do camber bar bicep curls for a few weeks and then seated alternating arm dumbbell curlsrepparttar 112873 next few weeks.

Tempo

Another fun way to change up your circuit training routine is changerepparttar 112874 tempo by which you perform an exercise. For example, one week you can perform each repitition super slow andrepparttar 112875 next week you can perform each repitition relatively quickly. I like usingrepparttar 112876 tempo counting method to determine exact tempo speeds. For example, a 3:1:3:1 tempo for a flat bench dumbbell press would look like this: take 3 seconds to lowerrepparttar 112877 weight, hold for 1 second atrepparttar 112878 bottom, take 3 seconds to push it up, and then hold for 1 second atrepparttar 112879 top before lowering it again. So, you could do a 3:1:3:1 tempo for a few weeks followed by a 2:2:2:2 temporepparttar 112880 next few weeks. Or, use different tempos for different exercises withinrepparttar 112881 same workout and then reverserepparttar 112882 temposrepparttar 112883 next workout.

Circuitingrepparttar 112884 Circuit

You can even create mini-circuits within a circuit training routine. One good way to do this is to group exercises for complimentary bodyparts together into their own circuit. For example, group all your chest, shoulders, and triceps exercises together in one circuit by resting 15 seconds between those exercises. Then, once you're done with them, take a 60-90 second break and go into another circuit for another group of complimentary bodyparts (back and biceps for example).

There are literally hundreds of ways you can tweak a circuit training program to keep it constantly fresh and challenging. And, asrepparttar 112885 above suggests, you don't even have to make huge changes to get great benefits and results.

Word of Caution Circuit training can be very demanding onrepparttar 112886 body. Before you start a circuit training routine, be honest with yourself about your current level of conditioning and keep that in mind when designing your program. Start slow and gradually increaserepparttar 112887 intensity over time as your conditioning improves.

Conclusion So, if you need a program that is easy to update and keep fresh yourself and/or if you are finding it hard to fit in your workouts into your busy schedule, I highly recommend trying circuit training. It can certainly be a fun, challenging, beneficial, and time efficient way to meet your fitness goals.
