A little background: Our programs involve Miller Circuits, with a strong strength and muscle building component, as well as a cardiovascular aspect. With the time it takes to rest from the exercise (1-2 minutes), we include flexibility, chest, and stomach work. Our programs differ from traditional circuit training, which is cardiovascular, with little or no strength and flexibility work. There is an example below of a Carl & Sandra's program. We change your program every 6 weeks. Why? Because increasing weight each time through a Miller Circuit, and increasing the total weight each week, works well for about 4 weeks. When continued beyond 4 weeks, your body feels the stress, and progress slows down. You feel tired and bored! You can change things up in the 5th and 6th weeks, to provide a little spark for your body and interest level, by adding weight at the beginning of the week, then taking off 10-25% of the weight, and doing faster repetitions the other two workouts. And don't forget to make that appointment for a new program! Click on the links in the program below for discussions of each program element! |
