Try Circuit Training

Circuit training consists of a consecutive series of timed exercises performed one after the other with varying amounts of rest between each exercise. An example of a simple circuit training workout might consist of push-ups, sit-ups, squats, chin-ups and lunges. Beginners should complete Circuit 1 once using moderate weights or no weight at all, if you're completely new to exercise. Intermediates can complete both circuits once or twice. Advanced exercisers can complete the circuit three or more times. An example of the type of exercises you can do follows:

• Bodyweight squats: 20 reps.
• Push-ups: 10 reps.
• Walking lunges: – 10 each leg.
• Dumbbell rows (using a gallon milk jug or another weight): - 10 each arm.
• Plank: 15 seconds.
• Jumping jacks: 30 reps.

As you build up your fitness, you can increase the intensity of each exercise or you can build up the repetitions. You can set your own pace, and you you can gauge when to increase your workload. Before long you will acquire improved fitness and set even bigger goals for yourself.
