Circuit Design
Starting off with circuits is quite easy. Do an exercise for about 10 repetitions, then move on to the next one. Beginners can rest between each exercise and then each set.
To make the circuit harder, do more sets round or reduce the amount of rest between sets and then exercises.
Harder still is to do all the reps of an exercise before moving to the next. So instead of doing 5 sets of 10, do 1 set of 50. Good fun until you get to the burpees, tuck jumps and pull ups.
This reduces the overall time of your workout, so what can take some people 20 minutes, you can get done in 7-8 minutes.
Client Testimonials
South WestFencing Hub
Working with James has been a pleasure and education for all of the fencers and coaches, from beginner fencers and trainee fencers, up to international fencers and coaches with decades of experience. We really appreciate James' desire to challenge assumptions but simultaneously his ability to listen to both fencers and coaches on technical and tactical points. He manages to keep his sessions fresh and innovative without losing sight of our central goals. His sessions are challenging and fun and his attention detail is a tribute to his professionalism. Thank you.
