Recommend circuit training routine

[Hugo Stiglitz]

Multi times a week, less chance of lactic acid; fast to regain core and use able fitness etc

(For Judo, MMA etc).


Any recommendations

[MC Bodge]

A combination of legs, arms and whole body/core exercises, start with bodyweight exercises. Lots of reps for endurance.

Supplement with resistance training .


There are loads of ideas on the www.








This is a good one:

And I'm back, anymore? I need to turbo charge my fitness back

Either make up your own, or use something like those above.

The building blocks are all well known.

Sets of exercises interspersed with hard running (200m?) are probably the best "value". If you do 40 minutes or so, you will have a done a good session, especially if you can run up and down a gradient.


Alternatively, use a sandbag:

Alternating shoulder pickups, squats (shoulder or bear hug), shoulder getups (bag on shoulder, stand up and sit down again), bear hug carry etc. Plus shuttle runs.

Carrying heavy weight around is excellent training.

I only really do circuits these days as you can get a lot of bang for your buck in a short amount of time. I sort my movements into to different circuits making sure I hit full body over the course of two days although there will inevitably be some crossover.

Circuit 1
Hip Hinge
Overhead press
Overhead pull
Full body conditioning exercise

Circuit 2
Knee dominant excercise
Horizontal press
Horizontal pull
Full body conditioning exercise

Main exercises used are deadlifts, clean and press, pull ups,Squats, lunges, dips, press ups and rows.

Full body conditioning excercises are mainly kettlebell swings, snatches, burpees, jump rope, and loaded carries. I never get bored of this as the possibilities are endless. It's very easy to change up.

All of these x 10 reps, 30 second rest between circuits, and you'll probably need a gym:

1. Lunges
2. Situps - you can vary what type
3. Press ups - can vary type
4. Squat thrusts
5. Static bike - 2 mins fast
6. Pull up - as many as you can do
7. Plank 30 seconds
8. Burpee
9. 500m on an erg - 24spm+
10. Squats

Repeat the circuit a few times, or until you keel over

What facilities do you have access to? How many times per week can you train, and for how long each time? What are your aims?
