Your Circuit Training Routine: Twice as Toned in Half the Time
Get Results, Fast
The New Approach
Simply by upping the pace, you can shave off more inches in less time, according to the American College of Sports Medicine. In just one hour a week you'll get all the cardio and toning benefits that used to take three-plus hours (two toning sessions and five 30-minute cardio workouts).
Do the following high-intensity circuit without pausing three times through, three days a week, and you'll be showing off a sleeker body by the end of the month.
What you'll need: A pair of 3- to 5-pound dumbbells.
Why It Works
"All these brisk moves target both the upper and lower body, which keeps your heart and muscles stoked at the right intensity," says workout designer Michele Olson, PhD, an exercise physiologist at Auburn University Montgomery in Alabama.
The Payoff
"Not only will you burn close to double the calories -- 171 versus 96 -- in less time," says Olson, "but you'll also firm everything from shoulders to calves, so you can check off your sculpting session, too."

2/5/2011 05:02:36 PM Report AbuseThe workouts are not portable unless you print them. It Why was the "PRINT ALL" stopped?
12/6/2010 09:01:09 PM Report AbuseGood workout, but would like to be able to print it. when you hit print all, it only prints first page...
12/3/2010 10:13:51 AM Report Abuselove this workout. could definitely feel the burn!
12/1/2010 06:28:08 PM Report AbuseTo be useful, you need for these workout instructions to be portable. Either they need to be in mp4 format for download to ipods or they need to be printable. The PRINT ALL SLIDES (please test it) feature doesn't work for the workouts that are presented via video. You might want to check out the Women's Health site by Prevention (Rodale). I like your site better, but their workouts are more format friendly and (most important) portable.
