Three Top Wellness Circuits– Fitness, Hydrotherapy and Magical Journeys

The Oxford Dictionary defines a circuit as, “…an established itinerary of events or venues used for a particular activity.”  However, let’s add a new definition to the dictionary that is designed for today’s wellness-loving world: wellness circuit, “…an established itinerary of events led by spa and wellness experts that helps you be healthier and feel really great!”  Check out these popular circuits and learn why circuit programs are the new circle of wellness – and a lot of fun.

Mix It Up with Circuit Training

Many are familiar with circuit training. Typically this is a series of six to 15 or more weight lifting exercises completed in a specific sequence. Perform each exercise for a number of repetitions or an established time period, take a short rest then move on. Repeat, repeat and repeat. Some personal trainers recommend breaking up your weight lifting with aerobic exercise, between every three or four exercises. To keep the workout interesting, others suggest doing more exercises, one time each.

Find personal trainers who can design a circuit to help you meet your fitness goals.

Hydrotherapy Circuits – Beyond Cool

Hydrotherapy circuits, consist of a sequence of swimming pools, cold plunge pools, showers, waterfalls, and do much more than help beat the heat. They are designed to restore health and wellbeing to take you away to a world of healing and pleasure.

Greeks were the first to create public baths, which evolved to include pools, saunas, showers, footbaths and more – inspiring today’s hydrotherapy circuits.
