Fitness circuit, which is also called equipment circuit or training circuit, includes a group of fitness equipment that allows you to perform an effective and safe full-body workout, and in the shortest possible time.
However, when buying a new or even a used fitness circuit, various criteria must be taken into account. Especially due to the fact that the offer differs greatly and also the number of fitness equipment in each fitness circuit is quite different.
A distinction is made between the pure strength circuit, which only contains strength equipment, and the mixed training circuit, which is the so-called strength-endurance circuit. For those who prefer a particularly joint-friendly training or for the rehabilitation of seniors, a very special equipment circuit is offered, which contains specially developed medical fitness equipment that is equipped with an electronic control. Newer, on the other hand, are the flexibility circles, in which the body's mobility and flexibility are trained through very specific exercises.
The strength-endurance circuit as a fitness circuit
This fitness circuit is a group of equipment designed specifically for strength and conditioning training. This means in this, depending on the design, there are fitness equipment that can be found in the cardio and strength area of the gym. This type of fitness circuit is offered in a wide variety of designs and can be found not only in the gym, but also in rehabilitation centers or physiotherapy.
The advantages of the fitness circuit
Especially for the strengthening of the strength and the endurance the fitness circle is suitable outstanding, since here a smaller regeneration time is present by the change from set to set between the individual exercise stations. In the tired muscle, the lactate that is produced during the execution of the exercise can be broken down, since another muscle group is being used. Thus, a high training volume can be achieved in the shortest possible time. In addition, the small breaks and the rapid change between the devices and this usually promotes motivation and therefore the fitness circuit is often used for childhood strength training.
Buy a fitness circuit for strength and conditioning training
A fitness circuit can be purchased both used and new. Mostly, however, the devices are intended for gyms than for home use, because for this a corresponding space requirement is needed.
For example, a strength and endurance circuit can consist of a leg press, chest press row, crunch extension, leg extension - leg curl, neck press - lat pulldown, butterfly - butterfly reverse, adduction - abduction and rotation.
But it is true, when buying fitness equipment for the fitness circuit, should be considered a few things. The best thing is to find out about good suppliers on Internet forums or ask in the gym, if the equipment is for private. Of course, there are big differences in quality and especially when it comes to strength equipment or fitness equipment, then you should attach importance to the fact that you can do your sport without risks. Therefore, make sure that the equipment has the TÜV seal as well as the CE seal.
A good guide to the quality of individual fitness circuit equipment is the classification according to DIN EN 957-1/5, because this determines the extent to which the equipment promotes health. A distinction is made between classes A, B and C. The top equipment can be found in class A.
The purpose of circuit training or of a fitness circuit
The purpose of a fitness circuit is not only to build up muscles through regular training, but also to improve your condition, so that you feel better and your body is shaped.
With a stepper, for example, can be done mainly fitness training and also that should not be forgotten in, because this training ensures that the body tightens and you increase your fitness level and just that is also a great benefit in everyday life. Push up bars, back trainers, weight bench with dumbbells and a pull up bar can also be incorporated into the fitness circuit. But with these you mainly define your muscles.
