Interval Training vs Circuit Training: Which one's Better for Fat Loss?

Hitting the gym for over an hour following a series of intervals or a quick 30 min circuit training session will both improve your overall strength, power, performance and lean muscle mass.

HOWEVER...when it comes to fat loss, it has been proven that endurance circuit training will help you lose those extra pounds faster.

Use the spare time for brisk walks at least 3 times a week and you will feel a difference in no time! (ideally 30-60 min walks)

Other advantages of circuit training over traditional weight training include:
-little or no equipment required
-can be done almost anywhere
-tends to be more fun

-works your entire body at the same time

Some popular circuit training DVDs you can do at home include: 
- Jilian Michaels' 30 Day Shred
- Craig Ballantyne's Turbulence Training

Soon we will be sharing some great circuit training routines as well in our workout section! Wait for them! (if in Panama, join us for fun and challenging daily sessions! email us at totalwellnesspty@gmail.com for details)
