In my last post about the Polar FT40 heart rate monitor, I mentioned wearing it while weight training. I think the Polar is especially helpful because it tells you if the main effect of your exercise if fitness improvement or fat burning. I thought it was so neat to see how much fat weight training can burn!
This 20 minute {or less} circuit workout burned off 143 calories, 32% of which were fat calories. This circuit workout only took me 17:14 minutes. I was satisfied with the workout because I wanted to squeeze it in, but mentally I wanted a third group to complete! Nonetheless, this is a perfect at home workout if you have a exercise ball and some free weights.
Enjoy!
Do you like circuit workouts? Thanks to completing Tina’s round 3 of Best Body Bootcamp, I absolutely LOVE circuit workouts. Just FYI, registration for her 4th round of BBB is open until December 31st 11:59 pm EST. Bootcamp will start January 7th.

Love it! Looks like something I would throw together myself.
I learned from the best (YOU!)! Actually, since I knew I was short on time & I knew I didn’t want to struggle with any moves, I just put some of my favorites together
Huge fan of circuit workouts! This one looks awesome
Great workout. I’ve added it to my workout board on Pinterest.
