Free weights vs. circuit training.

Hello Athletes and Warriors!
I pray all enjoyed and are continuing to enjoy this Holy season.
And as many of you start to turn your focus on your fitness goals for 2017, let's take a look at an age-old concept making a major comeback in the realm of fitness.

Isn't it funny how no matter how much the fitness world has gotten so seemingly sophisticated the foundations are the same? Take the resurgence of circuit training like in new programs like Crossfit and others; just take the same basics and re-package them to look like the hippest trip on Earth all of a sudden.

Free weights vs. circuit training.
Circuit training is a form of fitness training that takes the participant through a series of exercise stations with relatively brief rest intervals (15 to 30 seconds) between each station. Circuit training was designed to enhance muscular endurance and reduce the amount of time in the gym. Therefore, exercise machines are primarily used in a circuit program and they are very effective for this purpose. The key to success when engaged in a circuit program is to set the workload at each station for 50 to 70 percent of your individual strength levels.

"Old timers" in the gyms laugh at the resurgence in the use of free weights--tools they used long before machines with "captured" weight stacks came to the gyms. Training with free weights is becoming more popular than ever because they work and they are fun. Free weights, unlike machines, enhance balance, coordination and power. They do, however, require greater instruction and you will find this guidance and instruction with your custom Fitrex fitness programs and exercise videos. The results are well worth it!
