RESISTANCE TRAINING

Circuit Training Exercises

Ball Pushups:
Ball Squat: (hold dumbbells on your side if available)
Seated Band Row
Hip Bridge
Side Lateral Raise w/ band
Tricep Extensions
Ball Crunch
Superman

Circuit training is an excellent way to improve mobility, strength and
stamina. This circuit training format utilizes a group of 8 strength
exercises that are completed one exercise after another with little or no
break. Each exercise is performed for a prescribed amount of time before
moving on to the next exercise. The exercises within each circuit are
separated by brief, timed rest intervals, and each circuit is separated by
a longer rest period. The total number of circuits performed during a
training session may vary from two to five depending on your training level
(beginner, intermediate, or advanced), your period of training (preparation
or competition) and your training objective.

Beginner:

· 30 seconds per exercise

· 30 second break in between:

· Total number of circuits: 2-3

Intermediate:

· 45 seconds per exercise

· 15 second break in between

· Total number of circuits: 3-4

Advance:

· 60 seconds per exercise

· 10 second break in between

· Total number of circuits: 4-5

Example for a beginner: Do ball pushups for 30 seconds (whatever amount
you can complete), followed by 30 second break. Next, perform Ball Squats
for 30 seconds (whatever amount you can complete) followed by a 30 second
break. Repeat until the last exercise (superman) and go back to ball
pushups again; for a complete a total of 2-3 rounds.
