Circuit intervals still ROCK




Today was one of those days...rush rush rush...get up, work, get my son up, get him ready for school, run out the door, on the way back from school drop off the truck for some service, and choose to run back to the office to get to work. Well a nice little warm up with the run, and thought I would try to add variety to my SoloStrength bodyweight workout by doing the program in circuit style interval training. Well, maybe it was the combination of energy I had for the day, a little espresso, I don't know, but I was JUICED today to hit it hard...psyched up to put all I had into trying to accomplish my full body 20 minute SoloStrength program, into 3 rounds of circuit training instead of in isolated set style. Well, I'm happy to report that it was AMAZING, sweat intensity, pump was maximum, heart rate bordering on my maximum, and I COULD ONLY COMPLETE 2 FULL CIRCUITS! I was bagged out at 15 minutes. Sometimes people who haven't tried the SoloStrength bodyweight exercise system how it can be so effective in such a short period of time? Those of you who are trainers and with field experience will understand, but I like to use the parallel of sprinting. If you were to go sprint on a field, to your maximum or near maximum for 15-20 minutes...how do you think you would feel? If you did that 3-4 times a week, what kind of shape do you think you'd be in? Now add to that save, muscle toning, strengthening, posture and flexibility movements with little to no impact, and you have what is offered in the SoloStrength system. We don't suggest you replace anything you enjoy doing for your active living, SoloStrength simply supports the things you love to do, and gives you the benefit of great and sustainable fitness, for your lifetime. I feel amazing after that workout. Strong, stretched, mind and body engaged. Energy is positive, calm and direct.
