Planet Fitness 30 Minute Circuit Workout Variations

If you are a member of Planet Fitness health club, you are probably familiar with the 30-minute workout circuit. If not, you can read my blog post about creating the same workout at home. The Planet Fitness Circuit At Home

If you do the Planet Fitness 30 minute circuit workout on a regular basis, I have some variations so you can give your body some muscle confusion. Muscle confusion is a concept that centers around one doing a variety of workouts. It is designed to provide that one place different demands on the body so that the body needs to continue to adapt without getting used to the same exercise plan.

Below are my Planet Fitness 30-minute circuit workout variations:

Do the circuit twice so you will work out for one hour
Work on your arms(biceps and triceps) twice and omit your legs in the 30-minute circuit
Omit your shoulders and arms and work your legs twice in the 30-minute circuit
The workout calls for 12 reps instead do 20 reps in the 30-minute circuit
Do the circuit as is but do abdominal exercises instead of the steps

This is the Planet Fitness circuit plan that eliminates the steps and adds in core exercises. You will need a mat, weight or medicine ball.

Eating sufficient protein can help with weight loss while preserving muscle. Print this high protein food list for your fridge or notebook today and get new ideas for dietary protein. But, I thought a more comprehensive list would be fun to make, organized by how many grams of protein you get when weights are equal (100 grams). What is protein? Proteins are large molecules found in living cells. Proteins are like building blocks to build tissues in the human body, such as muscle tissue, bones, blood, and even hormones. Proteins function as enzymes, antibodies, and they assist in maintaining fluid balance. Why protein should be included in your diet While our bodies are capable of making certain amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, there are are others, called essential amino acids, that can only be obtained through food. Because our bodies are constantly turning over tissue, new proteins are needed to replace degraded existing proteins. Cell growth, repair, and main...

20 High Protein Casserole Recipes

I love casseroles, as I’m sure many of you do too. There’s something that is oh, so comforting about them. What’s more, they can feed a crowd. Casseroles also good for meal prepping- bake once, and you have leftovers you can pack for lunch or even dinner. Also, most casseroles use only one dish. So, you don’t have a ton of cleanup at the end. But most casseroles contain a ton of refined carbs and very little protein.
