Circuit training is a good choice for developing mobility, strength, endurance and coordination. These exercises also allow for maximum recovery of muscle groups.

classes consist of 6 to 10 strength exercises. They are usually
completed for 60 seconds in sequence with 20 to 30 seconds work on each
exercise with a 30 second recovery between each exercise and 3 to 5 sets
with a 3 minute recovery between each set. Each exercise is performed for a specified number of repetitions or for a set time before moving on to the next exercise. The
total number of circuits performed during a training session may vary
from three to six depending on your training level (beginner,
intermediate, or advanced) and your training objective.

set up to work out each body part. For example: Full body, Upper body,
Lower body, Core, Full body, Upper body, etc.
