Q. What is the Sircuits training method?
A. The Sircuits training method is a fun, non-threatening group exercise program that quickly and safely changes your body shape. PACE utilizes hydraulic resistance machines that match the effort of the user at any fitness level ( we call it accommodating resistance). PACE is fun, fast, and it produces results quickly.
Q. How does the Sircuits training method work?
A. The Sircuits training method program works on a work/recover/work/recover format alternating between the hydraulic exercise stations and recovery stations, such as jogging squares or step benches for a set interval, usually 30-45 seconds each. You can begin anywhere in the circuit and start exercising at your own pace. After warm-up, you should try to maintain your target heart rate for the duration of the class. You decide how hard/fast to push yourself with the help of the Sircuits training method instructor.
Q. What will the Sircuits training method do for me?
A. The major benefit for the Sircuits training method user is inches lost. You will burn lots of calories and strengthen your muscles while having fun. You will look and feel better quickly and safely.
Q. I never worked out before. Can I do the Sircuits training method?
A. Yes! Anyone at any fitness level can do the Sircuits training method. The Sircuits training method is safe because it automatically adapts the resistance to match your level of effort. As you begin to fatigue, the resistance decreases automatically.
Q. Will I get sore muscles from the Sircuits training method?
A. No. Because the Sircuits training method machines use hydraulic resistance, there is no "negative" (lowering the weight) resistance which causes muscle soreness. You will feel no soreness the next day.
Q. Will I get big muscles from the Sircuits training method?
A. No, for very much the same reason that you will not be sore; there is no negative or eccentric resistance with the Sircuits training method which is necessary for bodybuilding and developing bigger muscles. What you will notice are stronger, leaner, more toned muscles. The nice benefit of stronger muscles is an increase in your resting metabolism, which means you will be burning more calories during everyday activities.
Q. How does the Sircuits training method burn fat faster than any other 30-minute workout?
A. The Sircuits training method burns fat 3 ways. 1. You burn more calories during the workout. Each machine works two major muscle groups, thereby utilizing more muscle mass and burning more calories. 2.You burn more calories following your workout. ( The body's metabolism stays higher longer.) 3. You will increase lean body weight and metabolism. A pound of muscle will burn about 50 calories per day more than a pound of fat.
Q. How many calories does the Sircuits training method workout burn?
A. Research has shown that a 30-minute Sircuits training method workout burns between 350-900 calories. This depends upon two things: 1. The more intense the workout, the more calories burned. 2. The more lean body weight, the more calories burned. As you progress in your Sircuits training method workouts, you will be able to push harder and you will be getting stronger, so you will be burning more calories progressively.
Q. Why does the Sircuits training method have the "in-between" stations?
A. They serve two purposes. For those people pushing hard on the hydraulic machines, they act as "rest" stations and allow the user's heart rate to lower into their target zone. For those people not pushing quite as hard, they act as aerobic stations and serve to elevate the heart rate into their target zone. The format of the Sircuits training method is work/recover/work/recover, which burns more calories.
Q. How is the Sircuits training method different than other aerobic programs?
A. Aerobic activities such as step bench classes, stair climbing, cycling, jogging, etc. are all good cardiovascular exercises that burn body fat. However, some programs require a degree of skill and coordination and tend to intimidate the unfit person. Others can place a great deal of stress on the joints and do not provide muscle toning, especially for the upper body. The Sircuits training method is fun and easy for anyone to do and provides a total body strength and cardiovascular workout.
Q. If I do the Sircuits training method, do I still need to do other aerobic workouts?
A. Not unless you want to. The Sircuits training method far exceeds the minimum requirements to improve aerobic function as established by the American College of Sports Medicine. Your resting heart rate will decrease dramatically as a result of regular Sircuits workouts.
Q. I've been taught to lift and lower weights slowly. The Sircuits training method seems to be the exact opposite?
A. Exactly. Remember, the Sircuits training method is not weight. Speed is the key to the Sircuits training method - the ability to move the resistance as fast as your fitness level allows is what sets the Sircuits training method apart from any other circuit program.
Q. Is the Sircuits training method safe for kids?
A. Yes! Because of the double concentric nature of hydraulic resistance, there is no fixed load against the muscle or skeletal systems, so it is very safe. Kids love the Sircuits training method because there is no peer pressure and it's fun.
Q. Is the Sircuits training method better than dieting?
A. Diets by themselves have proven over the long run to be unsuccessful in permanent weight control. Proper nutrition, combined with good exercise, is the best way to improve health and permanently change body composition. The Sircuits training method has proven to burn off fat and increase lean muscle mass more effectively than any other program.
Q. Is there research to back up the benefits of the Sircuits training method?
A. Lots. The Sircuits training method is the result of over 20 years of research by noted exercise physiologists and fitness experts from around the world. This research has established the credible foundation on which fitness centers, aerobic studios, hospital wellness centers, schools, and corporations have built their successful own programs, just like we at Sircuits have done.
Q. Will I get sore muscles from the Sircuits training method?
A. No. Because the Sircuits training method machines use hydraulic resistance, there is no "negative" ( lowering the weight) resistance which causes muscle soreness. You will feel no soreness the next day.
