Your 7-Day Exercise Plan: Day 2 -- Circuit Training

We know: Staying fit requires a little creativity sometimes.You've got to mix things up to keep things interesting and work out different parts of your body.

To spice things up, we rolled out day 1 of our 7-day exercise plan earlier this week. Today, we introduce day 2 of your 7-day exercise plan: circuit training.

Here's what you'll need to get started: Equipment needed: mat, jump rope (optional)

If you can't complete all the suggested reps in this program, start by doing less and gradually increase to the recommended number. If you are just starting an exercise program, you may consider adding activity on two to four days of the week, and gradually increase to the recommended seven days a week. Doing some exercise is better than doing none.

Take a 1 - 2 minute break after each set.
