Each circuit will comprise 12 to 14 activities structured as follows:

• Whistle sounds to start/stop each activity
• Recovery time can be taken as part of next 30/50 seconds activity
• 12/14 stations, 1 for each activity

The activities will be spread evenly across 4 categories of exercises – aerobic/total body, upper body, mid-rift and lower body. Participants can adjust the intensity at which they perform each activity to suit their own level of fitness.

You will need to bring runners, tracksuit or shorts, a bottle of water and a towel. If you are attending one night only, it is envisaged that you could attend on either Monday or Friday – but please indicate your general preference so that we don’t end up with too many on a particular night.
