Circuit Training - PE

For PE we have started taking a look into what circuit training it. There are different types of circuit training- Timed circuit, competition circuit, repetition circuit and sport specific or running circuit to name a few. Circuits can improve your level of fitness and it consists of things such as 'do as many push ups as you can in 30 seconds' etc. Circuit training can be used for various reasons, such as an injury rehabilitation, sports conditions, increasing your strength or to lose weight. Our goal for the week was to follow a personalized circuit for 1 week, and the level of intensity was decided by us. Working out with a buddy can make things so much funner so I've gotten my mum to join me for the week. Here is my circuit that I am planning on completing this week:

1. Squat Jumps: 10 to 15 repetitions
2. Standard Push-ups: 10 to 15 repetitions
3. Calf Raises: 15 to 20 repetitions
4. Bench Dips: 10 to 15 repetitions
5. Abdominal Crunches: 15 to 20 repetitions
6. Jump Rope: 60 seconds
7. Squat Jumps: 10 to 15 repetitions
8. Standard Push-ups: 10 to 15 repetitions
9. Calf Raises: 15 to 20 repetitions
10. Bench Dips: 10 to 15 repetitions
11. Abdominal Crunches: 15 to 20 repetitions
12. Jump Rope: 60 seconds

30-40 seconds break between each exercise.

My goal from doing this is to be able to improve my breathing techniques, improve my form and build good exercise habits.
