BodyLastics Review

In 2001 the Bodylastics Circuit Training Program was developed in order to help users burn fat, lose weight, and tone up their bodies.

The basic premise of this workout is a combination of alternating resistance training with the Bodylastics bands and cardiovascular exercise of the user’s choosing in rapid succession, free of breaks or pauses between each. Done properly, a full Bodylastics circuit training workout should take all of 10 minutes.

To reiterate: unlike most other home gym workouts (including most other Bodylastics programs) the amount of time taken between each exercise, resistance and aerobic alike, must be kept to an absolute minimum in order to achieve maximum desired effects.

Before describing the Circuit Training workout in detail, there is one last tip you must keep in mind. Anytime you undergo a Circuit Training workout, you should always allow for:
•    5 minutes of warm-up time before starting, and
•    5 minutes cool-down time after completion

These can be in the form of:
•    walking in place
•    riding an exercise bike
•    using a treadmill
•    performing jumping jacks

This warm-up and cool-down time is essential in conditioning the body to most effectively and healthily integrating the benefits of the workout while minimizing the chances of strain, injury, cramping, or later stiffness and soreness.

The Circuit Training routine is comprised of 17 exercises:
•    9 Bodylastics exercises, broken up by
•    8 30-second cardio/aerobic sessions

This constitutes a single “circuit” which may then be repeated 1 or 2 more times, with the ultimate goal of being able to perform 3 complete circuits total with no breaks in-between and the most advanced of the listed cardio options for each 30-second aerobic set.

Those cardio/aerobic options are as follows:
•    for Beginners: walking in place
•    for Intermediate users: jogging in place or doing jumping jacks
•    for Advanced users: jumping from side-to-side or forward and back with your feet together

With all that in mind, now, here is the format of a single Bodylastics Circuit Training Program “circuit” (along with the muscle groups benefited from each exercise):
1.    Traditional Squat (upper legs)
2.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
3.    Bent Over One-Arm Row (back)
4.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
5.    Lunge (upper legs)
6.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
7.    Standing One-Arm Triceps Extension (triceps/arms)
8.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
9.    Standing Biceps Curl (biceps/arms)
10.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
11.    Standing Lateral Raise (shoulders)
12.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
13.    Resisted Pushup (chest)
14.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
15.    Laying Back Extension (back/specif. the muscles bordering the spine)
16.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics
17.    Crunch (abdominals)

You should be aiming for 15 reps per exercise.

Perform this Circuit Training routine 3-5 times each week and just watch how fast you reshape your body into the toned and sculpted design you’ve only ever dreamed of having.

One of the greatest benefits of the Bodylastics Circuit Training Program is that it supports the hectic lifestyle most people deal with nowadays, allowing for a full body workout, incorporating both strength training and cardiovascular exercise, in less time than it takes for a commercial break on TV.

Resistance band exercises are quickly replacing traditional free weights due to the facts that resistance band exercises offer smoother reps, less injury and more convenience to their free weight counterparts.
