UNIVERSAL GYM EQUIPMENT’S AEROBIC SUPER CIRCUITTM WORKOUT

__Most people don’t have a lot of time for exercise. They want a workout that’s fast and effective. They want a conditioning program that meets both these needs. And, they want a program designed to use a little space as possible. __That’s why Universal Gym Equipment developed the Aerobic Super Circuit workout. Our revolutionary total-body conditioning program offers the benefits of increased strength and aerobic endurance without lifting heavy weights or jogging long distances. It’s as simple as inserting aerobic activity workouts while alternating between strength conditioning stations on our Power Pak gyms. Here’s how it works: __Lift moderate weights at a fairly rapid pace on the Power Pak, spending 30 seconds at each station. Between stations, without a pause, engage in aerobic activity (running-in-place, pedaling an exercise bike, jumping rope, etc.) for approximately 30 seconds. Pre-recorded music and verbal cues may help you maintain your workout pace and integrity. The continuous activity, alternating between 30 seconds of weight training and 30 seconds of aerobic exercise through the entire circuit, keeps your pulse rate at an optimum traing level. The result is an effective, total-body workout in only 20 minutes! For best results we recommend alternating from upper body exercises to lower body exercises, with the aerobic exercise in between.

__*Note: Use moderate resistance, 40 to 50% of maximum one time lift capacity for the average person and 50 to 70% of maximum one time lift capacity for trained athletes. Use a high number of repetitions at a relatively fast pace at each station with aerobic exercises between stations to keep the heart rate at a continuously high working level. There should be no pauses taken during the 20 minute routine.
__Studies by the Institute for Aerobics Research in Dallas, Texas showed the Universal Aerobic Super CircuitTM dramatically improved aerobic endurance by 17% and body strength by 21-25%. And the workout also significantly reduced body fat levels. __Other studies have shown that 20 minutes on the Universal Aerobic Super CircuitTM provided as much or more aerobic benefit as 45 minutes of basketball or 42 minutes of cycling. The Universal Aerobic Super Circuit delivers more aerobic benefits in less time, plus gives you the strength, flexibility and endurance advantages of weight training. The Cooper Institute surveyed men and women in a 12-week program, exercising 20 minutes a day, 3 days a week. Body Fat Reduced Men 17% Women 10.9% Aerobic Improvement Men + 17% Women +17% Upper Body Strength Men + 21% Women + 21% Lower Body Strength Men +21% Women +26% __These results are phenomenal! 30 minutes a day, 3 days a week, for 12 weeks!
