CIRCUIT TRAINING DAY 1




            DIRECTIONS: Perform each workout (Day 1, 2, and 3) once per week. Rest a day between each workout. Exercises marked with a letter are done in sequence without
            rest in between. Complete them and then rest a minute afterward, and repeat for the total number of prescribed sets. So you might do a set of A, then immediately a set of B
            and then C before resting. Complete all the exercises in one group before moving on to the next.
