New Years Fitness Resolution For The Time-Starved Male: 30 Minute Circuit Training with Cuts Fitness For Men

Business Wire, Dec 13, 2006

CLARK, N.J. -- According to a Wall Street Journal Online/Harris Interactive Health-Care Poll, the number of men making New Year's resolutions to lose weight and exercise regularly in 2005 was 41 percent, but less than half of them actually followed through on their resolutions.

"Most men that make New Year's fitness resolutions find themselves at both ends of the spectrum -- either they approach fitness too seriously or not seriously enough," said John Gennaro, founder of Cuts Fitness For Men. "Starting out too aggressively will almost guarantee that you'll never reach your resolution goals and you'll quit after only a few weeks. And starting out too slowly says that you won't see results fast enough and will most likely give up after only a few weeks. Circuit training is ideal in that it provides the best of fitness in a short period of time."

The concept of circuit training was actually developed by R.E. Morgan and G.T. Anderson in 1953 at the University of Leeds in England. The term "circuit" refers to a group of exercises, or "stations," arranged in consecutive order. Each person uses each station for a pre-determined period of time with little or no rest in between stations. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) sets standards for fitness professionals and is the world's largest non-profit fitness certifying organization.

"The circuit training program at Cuts allowed me to lose 27 pounds and drop my body fat down to about 14 percent. I also have more energy and most importantly, I feel now better about myself!" said Eric Hormel, 35, of York, PA.
