Circuit training for upper body conditioning

Hi this is acidrock,
Attach is a short but effective training to improve your physique & stamina. Do every exercise for around 30 secs before proceeding to next station, complete about 8-10 sets depending on your fitness level . Slow down or pause to catch your breath anytime you feel you need to.(60% -80% of max. heart rate)
Substitue by light jogging or burpees if you feel that certain station is too challenging.
Any aerobic done continuously after 20 mins will start to burn fat ,after 45 mins fat and muscle will also provide energy source for your body.
MAX heart rate = 220 minus your age.
e.g. if you are 20 years old , your max. heart rate will be 220-20 = 200 hb/min
60% heart rate = 200 x 60%=120 heartbeat per minute.
Depending on your fitness,training objective and age , exercise close to or above your max. heart rate is dangerous and not advisable for most of us
Do substain your exercise for more than 20mins and around 60-80% hb/min if you want to lose weight effectively.(pls check out my weight loss program later in the blog)
Feel free to ask me questions if in doubt.
Hasta la vista!
