one set of each exercise. Initially, start with completing one rolmd of Circuit 1. Then add an additional round of the sanle circuit. Once you reach three
rounds of Circuit 1, add one rolmd of Circuit 2. Acid additional rounds of Circuit 2 as your fitness level increases. Repeat process with Circuit 3. Do not

seconds down. _Varm-up with 5-15 minutes of rowing or some other aerobic exercise before starting your circuits.
