There are many of you out there (new parents especially) who just do not have a great deal of time to workout. Therefore, you need routines that are short and sweet. One of the best ways to get a short and sweet workout is with circuit training.

Circuit training is a combination of aerobics/cardio and resistance training. You will be able to tone up and burn fat at the same time. However, you must move quickly between exercises. Unlike a regular gym workout you must keep the time in between exercises to the bare minimum.

Before we get to the routine here are some general guidelines for circuit training workouts:

Rep range: 12 to 15
# of sets: 1
Time in between sets: 14 seconds
#of Circuits: 1 to 3

For an actual example of the workout just click on the link under the days of the week. Don't be scared away! Each circuit will only take you about 10 minutes
