Combining strength training with a cardiovascular workout, circuit training features both weights and exercises incorporating a variety of moves, for a challenging calorie-busting workout. Fitness-trainer-to-the-stars (including Queen Latifah, Christina Applegate, and Carmen Electra) Jeanette Jenkins keeps the studio workout crew and TV audience motivated and mobile with her high energy mix ‘n match style of training. Using simple hand weights, the 21 Day Total Body Circuit Workout includes two 30-minute regimens geared towards increasing metabolism and toning muscles, with “Circuit A” combining pushups, chest flys, and triceps work, and “Circuit B” focusing on the back and biceps (both workouts include a bonus segment on ab crunches and a cool-down stretch). Although the high octane elevator muzak soundtrack will annoy some, Jenkins manages to find a groove that encourages viewers to keep with the program. Recommended. Aud: P. (N. Plympton)
