Introduction
With supersets and circuits, save time and take the intensity of your workouts to the next level!
A superset is performing two exercises (commonly strength training exercises that target the same muscle group in variation or two different muscle groups) in a row without any rest in between them.
A circuit is three or more exercises (strength training or cardio-based) completed in multiple rounds. Circuit training is a muscle and cardio endurance type workout with minimal rest in between exercises.
In addition to Fitbod's superset and circuit feature, you have the option to normalize the weight being used within your supersets and circuits. This allows you to perform your superset and circuit exercises with one barbell or one set of dumbbells (depending on the exercises) while maintaining your program progression.
