We all love 007, Daniel Craig. Hopefully, you will get motivated enough if we told you that Daniel Craig stuck to 2 days of circuit training in a week to prepare for Casino Royale. Chris Gethin trained superstar Hrithik Roshan <\/span><\/a>and muscular John Abraham<\/span><\/a> for circuit training workout to prepare them for their upcoming movies.
\nIf you get it right, there is no better way to lose those extra kgs<\/span><\/a> and build up some muscles<\/span><\/a>, all at the same time. But let\u2019s first understand what is Circuit Training Workout.<\/p>\n

Circuit training is a type of workout where you move from one exercise to other while taking a break of not more than 60 secs. You include different types of exercises in a circuit without over-stressing a particular body part. With basic equipment like a box and weights, you can do circuit training workouts at home<\/span><\/a> as well.<\/p>\n

Let’s see\u00a0how it helps in bodybuiliding and weight loss altogether. To build muscles, we have to affect\u00a0hormones like testosterone<\/span><\/a> or the growth hormone. To lose weight, we have to target the metabolism rate. When we increase muscle mass, we are impacting the body composition. By affecting the body composition, we can boost the metabolic rate. High metabolic rate can aid in effective weight loss. In short, if you boost certain hormones and build more muscle mass, you can speed up the resting metabolic rate (RMR) and thereby easily lose weight. During a cardio workout, our body burns calories only during the workout or perhaps a little while after the session. On the other hand, when you exercise with weights, your body burns calories throughout the day to recover from the intense workout.<\/p>\n

Below are 2\u00a0sample circuit training workouts which are an optimum mix of exercises to target both muscle building and fat loss –<\/p>\n
