I absolutely love circuit workouts! A circuit workout is the perfect marriage between resistance training and cardiovascular exercise. Research has shown that you can continue to burn calories for up to 14 hours after exercise! Furthermore, because a power circuit is timed you stay focused and you know you are done at a certain time. So, it’s easy to say “I’m going to start this workout at 6:40pm and be finished exactly at 7pm.” You can’t beat that. Even better, as you continue progressing with this workout and others on the site, you will lose weight! Of course, keep in mind that you have to decrease your caloric intake or you will be canceling out your hard work…
The “Weight Loss Circuit Workout” focuses on just that. The best circuit exercises to burn the most calories.

Perform each exercise for 2 minutes. Take as little rest as possible. Pace yourself for the entire 2 minute period.
