Running and Lifting Circuit – Full Body (Dumbbell Only!)

Running and Lifting Circuit Workouts are a GREAT way to get in a running and lifting workout when you are short on time.

Just like with the workout from July 21, HERE. This particular workout combines speed work with dumbbell only full body lift. I prefer to do my circuits on the treadmill and with a full body strength routine. To me I seem to get the best workout. If you prefer to split up lower body and upper body. Here & Here are Upper Body Circuit. Lower Body is coming soon!

When I am looking to add volume to my training plan along with strength training, I add in at least one sometimes two running and lifting circuits each week. This allows me to still add running volume while including a solid lifting workout. If I still need move volume than the running provides below, I add it to the warm-up or cool-down. For example I will run a two mile warm-up, complete the circuit and then run a one or two mile cool-down. I keep the miles before and after slow and under a 150 heart rate. That keeps the workout itself honest and difficult but doesn’t overdo my body for the rest of my training that week. If you need help fitting these types of workouts into your routine, reach out HERE!

**remember a proper warm-up and cool-down are important! A proper warm-up is important, it allows your body and muscles to gradually increase body temperature. A proper cool-down is equally as important. It allows your blood pressure and heart rate to get back to pre-exercising levels. Both lower the risk in injury!
