Hi all. I’ve been inundated with queries about the circuit classes, from those of you who haven’t been before. Just to give you a few answers to a few questions you might have! What is circuit training and what are the benefits? Circuit training is a form of body conditioning or resistance training using high-intensity aerobics. It targets strength building and muscular endurance. An exercise circuit is one completion of all prescribed exercises in the program. When one circuit is complete, one begins the first exercise again for the next circuit. Traditionally, the time between exercises in circuit training is short, often with rapid movement to the next exercise. Due to the lack of rest that circuit training demands, exercisers maintain elevated heart rates for the entire period of exercise. The combination of weight training and increased cardiovascular effort makes circuit training a beneficial type of cross training. The exerciser gains muscle through the resistance training. The exerciser increases his/her cardiovascular endurance during the slightly elevated heart rate that is maintained in between sets and throughout the overall program. The exerciser burns high amounts of calories during the high exertion periods of his/her sets. Circuit training is also a convenient way to exercise. It maximizes the total exercise volume (number of sets, repetitions, and amount of weight) completed in a period of time. Exercises are completed in a row, and therefore, the time spent exercising is condensed. Separate cardiovascular training is not necessary. All body parts are trained in one session, and therefore, exercisers do not need to work out everyday. Is it a female only class? No, both men and women are welcome. Up to now, the classes have been roughly 70% women and 30% men attending. Where, what, when?!? Classes are held every Tuesday and Thursday night from 9 – 10 p.m., and every Saturday from 1-2 p.m., in the Gym Hall at Naas CBS. There is ample parking. Just drive in the main gates, and around to the back. Drive under the arch, and the hall is just on the left. Classes are only €5 and there is no need to book in advance. The classes are adjusted, depending on numbers. When you arrive, I’ll ask you to fill in a health screening form. If you have any health issues, please bring them to my attention. All you need to bring is a bottle of water, and a towel. Mats are provided at the relevant stations. What’s your qualification? I am PTI, NCEF (Level 2) qualified. I am also a team sports coach, strength & conditioning coach, and fully qualified physical fitness Instructor. I also organise team building & fitness days. I am also fully insured. Any more questions?! Please log onto “Mick Mulcahy Fitness” on Facebook; follow “@mickmulfitness” on twitter or telephone {087} 2606944. I look forward to meeting you all very soon! Regards, Mul
