<img src="http://www.ftjcfx.com/7l101bosgmk59768CB6576AF69CF" border="0" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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:<br />
•    5 minutes of warm-up time before starting, and<br />
•    5 minutes cool-down time after completion</p>
<p>These can be in the form of:<br />
•    walking in place<br />
•    riding an exercise bike<br />
•    using a treadmill<br />
•    performing jumping jacks</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The Circuit Training routine is comprised of 17 exercises:<br />
•    9 Bodylastics exercises, broken up by<br />
•    8 30-second cardio/aerobic sessions</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Those cardio/aerobic options are as follows:<br />
•    for Beginners: walking in place<br />
•    for Intermediate users: jogging in place or doing jumping jacks<br />
•    for Advanced users: jumping from side-to-side or forward and back with your feet together</p>
<p>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):<br />
1.    Traditional Squat (upper legs)<br />
2.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
3.    Bent Over One-Arm Row (back)<br />
4.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
5.    Lunge (upper legs)<br />
6.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
7.    Standing One-Arm Triceps Extension (triceps/arms)<br />
8.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
9.    Standing Biceps Curl (biceps/arms)<br />
10.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
11.    Standing Lateral Raise (shoulders)<br />
12.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
13.    Resisted Pushup (chest)<br />
14.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
15.    Laying Back Extension (back/specif. the muscles bordering the spine)<br />
16.    30-seconds cardio/aerobics<br />
17.    Crunch (abdominals)</p>
<p>You should be aiming for 15 reps per exercise.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">What sets Bodylastics apart from other home gym systems is that every Bodylastics set includes several key components &#8211; the Quick Clip System, a Door Anchor, the Elastic Tubes, and heavy-duty Handles and Ankle Straps) that in conjunction with one another, can be used to duplicate some o f the most powerful and effective exercises you can accomplish in the best of health clubs. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><strong>Quick Clip System:</strong> </em>Attached to the end of each Bodylastics 4&#8242; foot elastic bands is a clip that is as secure as it is easy to use. With this Quick Clip System, you can quickly and easily add or remove bands to create heavier or lighter resistance loads, respectively. As such, you are able to challenge each of your muscle groups at its ideal level with under- or over-taxing it. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><strong>Door Anchor:</strong></em> This component of the Bodylastics system allows you to attach your bands to any door that has ability to close completely. Whether it&#8217;s a closet door, the door to a room, or the front door to your home, you can emulate all of the best workout machine exercises simply by hooking the door anchor to any door and shutting it all the way. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;">11 inches in length and made of soft foam and nylon webbing, the Bodylastics door anchor is safe for use on all doors. It will not do any harm to your door or door frame. Standing exercises, sitting exercises, laying down exercises &#8211; you can accomplish all of them with this versatile door anchor that, once properly placed, is designed to remain safely secure in position. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Calibri;"><strong><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Elastic Tubes</em>:</strong> The adjustable and smooth Bodylastic bands make optimal use of elastic resistance to achieve innumerable and incomparable benefits in the way your body looks and feels. </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">As opposed to flat exercise bands which are less effective and easier to snap, Bodylastics uses elastic tubes, each one 4&#8242; in length and varying in thickness in order to create different degrees of resistance. The Bodylastics fitness tubes are all made of the highest quality latex rubber and built with a fully snap-resistant design. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Calibri;">Further, in order to make it as easy as can be to use Bodylastics, the elastic bands are color coded, each color representing a different level of tension.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">  </span>Changing the level of resistance is really just as simple as clip one or more additional tubes onto or off of the ankle straps or handles you&#8217;re using. Combining the elastic bands so, you get 15 different levels of resistance in the Basic set and 31 different resistance levels available in the Max Tension set.</span></p>
<p><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"><strong>Handles &amp; Ankle Straps:</strong></span></em><span style="font-size: 11pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Calibri&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;"> With both handles and ankle straps included, you are able to work out all parts of both your upper and lower body. And both the handles and ankle straps are built to be as soft and comfortable to the touch as they are easy to grip as they are safe, sturdy, durable, and reliable. </span></p>
