Hi
I'm
Nancy
Shah,
with
healthy
living
today
our
guest
is
irene,
lewis,
mccormick,
irene
hiney
and
thanks
for
joining
us.
Thanks
for
having
me,
we
are
going
to
talk
about
circuits
and
group.
Fitness
classes
circuits
used
to
be
big
in
the
80s
90s.
We
used
to
do
them
all
the
time,
but
they
kind
of
left
and
like
everything
else
in
fitness,
it
kind
of
come
around
full
circle.
Yes,
we're
seeing
a
lot
more
circuit
training
in
our
group,
fitness
classes,
for
example,
you're
hit
cardio
and
core.
A
B
You're
absolutely
correct
circuit
was
really
big
in
the
late
80s
and
early
90s
and
you'll,
probably
think
of
it
with
respect
to
programs
like
curves,
right
or
other
facilities.
They
would
have
like
one
big
piece
of
equipment
and
then
another
big
piece
of
equipment,
and
the
idea
was
to
do
a
couple
exercises
here
or
a
couple
sets
here
and
then
move
on
to
this
one
and
this
one
and
go
in
a
big
circle.
It
was
really
nice
because
it
was
organized
and
if
you
went
quickly
enough,
you
could
get
a
cardiovascular
workout.
B
In
addition
to,
but
like
anything,
people
quickly
got
bored
and
we
moved
on
and
progressed
in
fitness,
but
we
have
come
back
to
circuits,
but
there
are
some
things
that
are
going
on
with
circuit
training.
Now
that
wasn't
going
on
then,
for
example,
portable
fitness
equipment.
Today
I
mean
we
have
a
ton.
B
That
is
what
you
use
for
circuit
training
in
group
fitness
in
particular.
Yes,
you
can
use
an
impersonal
training,
but
in
group
fitness
you
are
really
limited
to
that:
portable
fitness
equipment
and
there's
so
much
of
it
available
today.
So
it's
really
easy
to
use.
In
the
traditional
circuits,
we
did
there'd,
be
one
person
doing
this
exercise,
one
person
doing
that
exercise,
one
person
doing
that
exercise
and
then
they
would
just
switch.
B
But
one
of
the
things
that
we
do
in
the
class
that
I
teach
here
at
the
city
and
with
the
use
of
the
portable
equipment
is
I
partner,
circuit
train,
it's
so
much
fun
and
you
have
kind
of
a
team
environment,
you're
encouraged
by
the
person
with
you.
It
doesn't
matter
how
fit
or
unfit
you
are
that
doesn't
matter
because
you
are
held
to
a
standard.
You
know
what
the
expectations
are,
and
you
just
do
what
you
can
right
and.
B
B
Like
ok,
so
if
I
was
teaching
a
class,
the
first
thing
I
would
need
to
do
is
orient
my
participants
on
the
equipment
that
we're
using
so
I'll.
Do
that
with
you
too.
Okay,
sometimes
they're
very
familiar
with
the
equipment,
and
sometimes
they
have
no
idea.
I
try
not
to
reveal
too
many
new
pieces
all
in
one
experience,
but
today
we
have
a
few
new
pieces.
B
B
You
can
stand
to
the
side
of
it
and
tap
it,
and
this
is
actually
the
exercise
we're
going
to
do
today
and
then,
once
you
get
a
little
more
confident,
you
add
a
little
power
that
looks
very
and
then
another
way
you
can
use
it
is
you
face
it
and
you
it's
like
a
sprinter
and
you
just
step
up
onto
it
and
you
can
just
step
on
and
off
and
you
can
power
through
that
way
too.
So,
there's
lots
of
ways
and
I.
B
B
Row
balls
against
it's
very
fun.
Okay,
this
is
a
kettlebell,
get
all
cattle
bomb.
This
is
the
Horner
the
handle.
This
is
the
bell
or
the
ball.
Kettlebells
are
round
because
they're
designed
to
swing
so
while
I
am
doing
an
exercise
on
here,
you're
going
to
swing
the
kettlebell
okay,
it's
just
going
to
it's
going
to
it's
called
a
clean.
It's
going
to
float
between
your
knees,
going
to
bring
it
up
to
shoulder
height,
the
other
arm,
we'll
just
hang
out
to
the
side.
B
B
A
A
B
It
and
they
love
it,
they
love
it.
So
what
will
happen
is
I'm
going
to
actually
have
you
be
an
anchor
rate
and
you're
going
to
hang
on
to
the
rope
like
this.
This
is
called
a
mixed
grip:
okay
and
you're,
literally
just
going
to
squat
down
and
hold
it
and
I'm
going
to
do
what's
called
a
rope
slam.
Okay,
it
looks
really
hard,
but
it's
not
that
hard
right,
I
lost
anybody
can
do
it.
Okay,
so
we'll
do
that
one
and
then
we'll
just
switch
and
I'll.
B
Tell
you
about
the
partner
circuit
in
just
one
second,
and
then
we'll
just
do
the
cone
and
the
jump
rope
super
simple
equipment
for
the
cone
I'll
just
hop
over
the
top
like
this
and
I'll
try
to
be
really
precise
and
you'll
just
perform
jump.
Rope
moves,
hey,
Gus
right
so
because
we're
working
in
partners
it's
not
necessarily
time-based,
with
respect
to
how
many
you
do
so
how
it
will
work.
Is
this
I'm
going
to
be
the
timer
and
you're
going
to
be
you're
just
going
to
respond
to
that.
B
I'll
do
15
on
the
right
or
10.
Excuse
me
on
the
right
10
on
the
left.
Okay
and
you
will
keep
swinging
the
kettlebell
with
your
right
arm.
Okay,
I
switch
then
you'll
switch
and
then
we
will
switch
all
right
and
then
the
same
thing
with
the
rope.
I'll
do
15,
slams
and
then
I'll
run
over
here
and
be
the
anchor
and
then
so
that
alerts
like
that.
Okay,
so
you're,
ready,
I
am
ready.
So
I
will
use
how
we
would
do
if
we
were
doing
a
classes.
B
B
Right
so
I
would
push
start
okay
and
when
that
started
we
would
work
for
three
total
minutes.
Okay
and
then
I'm
going
to
be
here
doing
this
movement
to
the
side.
So
all
you
have
to
do
is
be
aware
of
when
you're
swinging
that
don't
hit
me.
I
won't
Hey,
ok,
I'll
angle,
a
little
bit
this
way.
Ok,
you
ready
Sam
Houston!
You
just
keep
swinging
until
I
switch.
Ok,
so
it's
so
I've
got
10
reps
here,
so
I've
got
10.
B
B
So
that
would
be
an
example,
so
we
would
keep
doing
that
for
three
minutes.
Then
the
instructor,
sorry,
you
had
to
work
harder.
I
think
I
would
say:
okay
switch,
so
we'd
get
maybe
90
seconds
to
recover
because
that's
a
two
to
one
ratio
and
then
we
would
go
to
the
next
skill.
Okay,
which
would
be
this
it's
it
decreases
the
confusion.
If
the
person
who's
the
counter
stays
the
counter
right,
so
I'll
be
the
counter
again.
Okay,
then
we
went
through
the
circuit
again
we
would
switch
and
you'd
be
the
counters.
B
B
Right
and
it's
fun
right
and
you
encourage
me
when
I'm
doing
this,
you
can
go
come
on.
Iranian
do
a
couple
more
or
whatever
it
is,
and
so
it
really
is
it's
really
cool.
Then
we
would
have
another
break
okay
and
then
we'll
try
the
ropes
all
right,
you're
going
to
anchor
open.
Yes
in
a
squat
with
a
mixed
grip:
okay,
you'll
hold
it
wide
enough,
but
the
width
of
your
shoulders.
Okay
and
you'll
probably
want
to
scoot
back
just
a
pinch.
B
Instructor
would
indicate
time.
Okay
and
I
would
do
again.
I'll
do
10.
This
is
called
a
rope,
slam,
ok
and
I'm,
going
to
add
a
little
bit
of
extra
into
it
too.
I
have
space
behind
me.
Yes,
you
might
need
to
scoop
back
shell
bit
bit.
Can
you
ok
so
ready?
So
it's
10,
ok,
but
I'm
going
to
add
in
something
to
so
we're
going
to
go
cash.
B
B
B
B
There
are
so
many
things
and
it's
an
you
just
holding
it
now
when
I
did
the
Burpee,
it's
not
as
hard
as
it
looks,
then,
all
of
a
sudden
the
rope
isn't
moving
you're
just
holding
it.
Ok,
but
if
I
just
did
the
slam
the
whole
time,
but.
A
B
Not
so
long
that
it's
not
manageable
right
right,
so
that's
really
yeah,
and
that
would
be
it.
We
would
just
go
through
and
then
I
just
changed
the
circuit.
So
once
the
whole
group
goes
through
that
the
equipment
will
stay
the
same
right
this
group,
but
while
people
are
recovering
I'll
go
all
right
instead
of
jumping
over
the
cone
like
this
you're
going
to
step
over
or
jump
over
the
cone
like
this,
so
you
just
change
the
skill
and
how.
B
Depending
on
how
many
people
I
have
ok,
I
will
have
anywhere
between
three
and
five.
Ok
just
depends
on
how
much
room
I
have
or
how
much
available,
and
then
I've
got
to
figure
out
how
many
people
are
there,
because
I
have
to
have
even
numbers
at
each
station
exactly
and
if
I
don't
have
an
even
number
badges.
