Full-Body Circuit Training
Circuit training is a popular form of exercise that involves moving through a series of exercises with little rest in between, which can be great for building strength and improving cardiovascular fitness.
Below is an example of a full-body circuit designed to be approachable for a wide range of fitness levels and can be easily adapted to suit women who are looking for an effective workout.
Disclaimer: Before beginning any new exercise regimen, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider, especially for individuals with pre-existing health conditions or those who are new to physical activity.
