That is the day when everything really begins to hurt when you have a had a good session at circuit training.

I started circuits about 4 months ago and have been about once a week on average, sometimes twice and sometimes missed because of illness. My main reason was because I am overweight and the only way I lose weight is to exercise.

I must say that it is a very pleasant way to exercise, very hard work, but enjoyable. You are driven very hard for a short period of time on various forms of exercise - all of them exercising a different set of muscles and fitness. Then moving on to the next station after 30 seconds really keeps the focus and stops the boredom and monotony from setting in.

Plus as you are always doing the circuits with somebody else the solo factor does not get to you. And even if you go with somebody who is really fit it makes you strive to match them on some things.

The end result after 4 months, well it is not as good in some areas as I hoped it would be, I am not sure if I have actually lost much weight. But I certainly have changed shape, my arms, legs and shoulders have all toned up very visibly. My stomach is still very flabby - but it is improving slowly. I am sticking with it and although I know it will take a lot longer than I first thought it is a highly effective form of exercise.

A word of warning when you first start, the day after is bad, you will feel very stiff and aching muscles. However this is nothing to the next day, when you may find that you can barely move....

If I could just stop eating so much junk food then the weight would fall off me!
