A Quick Circuit Workout That Builds Stamina & Muscular Endurance

 Every once in a blue moon these days, I would do a circuit workout based on the system put out by Darebee and go for as many as 10 rounds practically non-stop to keep challenging my condition and stamina. As much as I love to do strength training workouts alongside the other stuff, having good conditioning is something I'm more inclined to work on. Conditioning is a challenge for most people and although you can be strong as hell, if it doesn't last what good is it really?

This particular workout I did yesterday was more towards MMA or Boxing/Kickboxing type training where it's plenty of punching, kicking and striking. Although the workout has you doing 7 Rounds at maximum, that's not enough for me so I wanted to take it even further. The Darebee workouts base the levels of fitness on where you're at...Level 1 = 3 Rounds, Level 2 = 5 Rounds and Level 3 = 7 Rounds. Some of these workouts are pretty easy to get to 7 Rounds and others you can barely make to Level 2 without wanting to die. 

I tend to push and modify some of these workouts and make them a bit more to my liking to get the workout I feel I need to get in. I usually make the basic squat into the Hindu Squats and substitute the Lunges with Step Ups, the basic squat just didn't feel right with me and lunges put more stress on my ankles than I like. Almost everything else I'm good with. 




This workout wasn't very difficult to complete but even 10 straight Rounds still builds up a hell of a sweat and gets you breathing hard. I do my best to keep my workouts to a point where I'm not killing myself and having a little bit left in the tank because if I were to push to my extreme, I tend to want to sleep for 3 hours afterwards. This workout was more on the bases of getting in some good cardio and doing something fast and quick to have the rest of the day to chill, do some shopping or go hang out somewhere. 

Make your workouts challenging but you don't have to go to the brink of collapsing and nearly blacking out, I've done it and it sucks and I don't wish it on anyone.
