This 2 day circuit training program is designed to help beginners lose fat the right way. Burning fat has always been a problem for many individuals, but this program will help you torch that extra fat effectively with minimal equipment. You can run this program 2 days a week for a period of at least 8 – 12 weeks, besides using your regular workout regimen.


This circuit workout program consists of 10 exercises to be done in a sequential manner. Complete one set of each of the 10 exercises with very little to no rest in between them. This completes one circuit. Take a breather (no more than 2 minutes) and repeat the same circuit again for a total of 3-5 rounds, depending on your fitness level. Starting with 3 rounds is recommended. Beginners looking for a challenge and to burn excess fat should try this workout!


NOTES:

1. Before starting the workout do dynamic stretching for all body parts and joints. Post completion of the workout do static stretching for all body parts.

2. You can do some variations of the exercises given in the program, from time to time, like barbell back or front squat and goblet squat in place of bodyweight squats, chin ups in place of pull ups, side plank in place of front plank, cross trainer or air bike in place of treadmill. However, for absolute beginners, sticking to bodyweight only is strictly recommended and gradually build up from there.

3. For those individuals, who cannot perform a single pull up or chin up, using Lat Pull Down machine is recommended for the same number of reps as prescribed in the program.

4. Make sure to perform each and every exercise with proper form. Do not rush to complete the reps while compromising form. This may lead to unnecessary injury.

5. Last but not the least, stick to a well-structured calorie deficit diet, for optimal results.
