Did my first circuit training session today and it was fun! I got through the first cycle pretty fast and thought that it might be too quick. But you definitely slow down going through the next two cycles. It took 52 minutes in all, and and was a nice change of pace from my previous workouts. A good thing about exercising late at night is that there's not many people in the gym, so I didn't worry about leaving my "stations" set up as I did the circuit.
Since that session was a make-up for yesterday, I also ran on the treadmill for 50 minutes, doing 3.71 miles at a 1.0 incline.
This blog is already helping me out, since I probably would have been tempted to just do one workout and make-up the other later, so I'd still be behind. But, because I would be writing this, I went ahead and did it!
My workout:
Bench Press - 15 reps, 80 lbs.
Ball Crunch (various) - 15 reps
Alt. DB Lunge - 15 reps, 5 lbs.
Reverse Wide Grip Pulldown - 15 reps, 75 lbs.
Upright BB Rows - 15 reps, 30 lbs.
DB Calf Raises - 15 reps, 20 lbs.
Alt. Incline DB Curls - 15 reps, 20 lbs.
Bench Dips - 15 reps
Side Crunch - 15 reps, 10 lbs.
I definitely will increase the weight on a few of those, but I was trying to feel out the total effect of all three cycles.
