I haven’t always grown up the fitness enthusiast that I am today. In fact I didn’t really start exercising until college. People always ask me what motivated me to start working out and what keeps me focused. I think the first question is always very easy to answer (just like anyone else, I wanted to develop a great physic and feel good about my body)

The second question was not so easy to answer until I recently discover the power and efficiency of circuit training workouts .

Circuit training workouts are exercise routines done back to back with minimal break between the sets. They are great ways to keep your workout session “jazzed up” and fun, while maximizing your time. For example, instead of doing a boring 30 minute stationary bicycle ride, which quite frankly does not burn anything but your time (instead of your body fat), you go through a series of ab workout, squats, plank, sequentially for 30 seconds each with 20 seconds of rest between sets. Once done, you repeat the entire circuit again 5 to 6 times. The complete workout may take less than the time spent on your bicycle ride but the intensity is several folds higher, which makes the body burn the fat for 24 to 48 hours straight as opposed to much less for more engaging exercises.

Discovering the benefits of circuit training changed dramatically the way I workout in a sense that not only do I have an unlimited set of possibilities in terms of how I combine my sets, I also do not lose interest in doing the same kind of workout routines day in and day out. Needless to say that boredom in workout is one of the principal reasons people quit after a while, because they do not feel challenged enough and consequently, they do not achieve their weight loss goals.

In a video I made the first day of this new year 2011, I shared tips that could help you stay motivated on your workout goal for the new year. It does require a change of mindset from you however, because remember – like someone says: “If nothing changes, nothing changes”. You need to change the way to approach your workout, keeping in perspective the overwhelming health benefit it has on your body, rather than just the mere fact that it helps you sculpt a great looking physic.

MY HOPE

My hope in conceiving this website, which I would highlight I built up myself (Yea you can clap for that ); anyway, my hope is that the hundreds of circuit training workouts that I have on this site will give you enough basis for you to kick off your home workout training. If there are certain specific routines you would like to see, feel free to email me and I will gladly make a video and post it with your name on it. One soul at the time, one genetic fat cell at the time, we will conquer our fear of working out and vanquish obesity in the same process. What better than to kill too birds with one stone! Enjoy my workout site!
