INTENSITY
The training program considers the personal needs, goals, fitness levels and skills for each individual athlete

Period of timed work with periods of timed rest
The variables of the FITT Principle that can be adjusted for progressive overload.

What is an example of a circuit training session? Use 5 exercises
