When I use the term "circuit training," I am referring to a series of lift-run intervals using weight-lifting equipment rather than free weights, which I term "machines."
1 lift-run interval =
12 lifts
Run from machine to stairs
Run up stairs 2 at a time
1/9 mi run on elevated track
Run down stairs
Run/walk to machine
Last interval of timed circuit does not include the final 1/9 mi
Approx. 1.5 hours total for workout session
Workout session =
1 mi run warm-up
Circuit training lift-run intervals
Time taken
Last 1/9 mi to complete last interval
1 mi run to finish
Personal record for circuit training set Saturday, May, 14, 2010, 51 years old
6 machines, 3 sets each machine, 12 lifts per set = 216 lifts, 1 8/9 miles run in 1/9 mi intervals, 43 minutes
Total run workout: 4 miles
