FORCES FITNESS - Forces Circuit

Forces fitness circuit I did whilst serving abroad.

Circuit Training aims at the progressive development of muscular and circular respiratory fitness. The muscular benefit in the circuit training is mainly endurance and will achieve increased efficiency of complete circulatory and respiration systems.

With this circuit you don't need weights just a mat or some grass and music.
You will be working your ARMS, LEGS then your ABS and a little bit of running, so this workout is not for the faint hearted. It might look easy but believe me if you put the effort in you will feel it. I did this workout 3 times a week and came back from a 4 month deployment very fit and with a good physique.

Do each exercise for 30 secs first time through, then rest for 1min 20 secs, then 15 secs second time through, rest, then if you can 15secs.

Start with
        
                ARMS
                                   Press Ups
                                   Wide Arm Press
                                   Close Arm Press
                                   Tri Dips (on wall or anything knee height)
                                   Arm Punches
                
             LEGS
                                   Squats
                                   Lunges
                                   Squat Jumps
                                   Side Jumps
                                   Lunge Jumps

            ABS
                                  Sit Ups
                                  Leg Raises
                                  Trunk Curls
                                  Cycling Twists
                                  Half Sits


Rest for 2 mins, then depending where your training work out a 25m stretch, a 50m stretch and a 100m stretch. Sprint 25m jog back slowly, then 50m, then 100m do this 3 times through.
It is hard but it will get you fit and you will feel the benifits after a few weeks.
I'd like to say I'm not a fitness instructor or a qualified trainer I'm just giving you some workouts that we did in the forces that helped me stay fit and active.
