iCLIMB 4 - Circuits

Today (Saturday) was a rest day for me, but yesterday I ran through iCLIMB 4 - 40 min - Circuits.

The reason for doing this workout was that I want to slowly reintroduce some weight work to my routine for after my 10k run. This workout adopts a 5 min Cardio / Weights rotation that gets in a short workout on all the major muscles.

The Cardio section on the elliptical is fine, but with only 5 minutes at a time I wouldn't desrcibe it as challenging. The weights suggested are (in European form) about 4kg. This is fine for shoulders and triceps, but I felt like my arms and back weren't really getting worked out.

This is a fun, but fairly easy workout - maybe have a few heavier weights to push yourself on certain muscles.
