Training on 4th December 2012

Circuit training consists of performing multiple exercises on multiple body parts in a row with little rest in between exertions. As we progressing in out training it is important that we stay healthy and injury free.

Next Tuesday, 4^th December 2012 our Fit4Life training will start at 7:15pm in Ardfert Community Hall with Guest speaker - Kevin Lynch (Neuromuscular/Physical Therapist) with Practical demonstration and Q&A on:

- Sport or personal injury prevention

- Injury rehab

- Poor flexibility/muscle tightness

- Joint Pain – Knee, Hip, Shoulders, Ankle

Session will take 30-45min (and is free of charge) with our regular circuit training to follow from 8-9:15pm (€2).

Circuit training is a convenient way to exercise. It maximizes the total exercise volume (number of sets, repetitions, and amount of weight) completed in a period of time. Exercises are completed in a row, and therefore, the time spent exercising is condensed. Separate cardiovascular training is not necessary. All body parts are trained in one session, and therefore, exercisers do not need to work out everyday. 

Due to the lack of rest that circuit training demands, exercisers maintain elevated heart rates for the entire period of exercise. The combination of weight training and increased cardiovascular effort makes circuit training a beneficial type of cross training. 

The exerciser gains muscle through the resistance training. The exerciser increases his/her cardiovascular endurance during the slightly elevated heart rate that is maintained in between sets and throughout the overall program.  The exerciser burns high amounts of calories during the high exertion periods of his/her sets.
