Circuit Training

Circuit training is great way to get into shape. With a good circuit routine a person can exercise their entire body in a short amount of time. Not only will the muscles get a workout but the cardio system will also be trained.

I used a circuit to prepare for brazilian jiu-jitsu tournaments. The one I used was tough and definitly was for the well trained adn conditioned. I am now doing a lighter version of the exercise circuit.

If you do not do any circuit training currently I recommend that you ad it.

I am planning on recording the circuit and offering it pro bono to everyone. So subsribe to this blog to be notified when it is ging given away.

Variety is Key

One key factor in fitness success is you ability to exercise consistently. This is not to say that you should always do the same exercise all the time. But that you should exercise consistently and that the exercise you do can vary. Run one day, lift the next. Circuit training on Monday and then Brazilian jiu-jitsu (BJJ) the Wednesday. The variety will greatly help reduce the odds of your getting bored and quit exercising.

Christmas Dinner

Some people may fret over what sort of junk food they will eat during the holidays such as christmas dinner. One meal will not totally destroy your diet. The body for life program even encourages cheat days in which you are expected to eat more than expected and in less than healthy sorts of food. Think of the Christmas Dinner as a cheat day. Your body is amazing and will increase metabolism if it deems necessary so as to burn off any extra calories you eat.



If you want to decrease any guilt you may have then go out for a run or do a few pull ups. I like pulls ups for keeping the body active. The one I have at home in my bedroom doorway is the perfect pullup

Change of routine

The other day I went for a run. First time in quite a while. The feeling I had the next day reminded me of one of the important things to do when improving your condition. That thing is to change your routine. The change can be accomplished in a number of ways. Speed, amount of weight, number of sets, number of repititions, etc.
