Each set works on a different body part such that by the time the circuit is completed, the entire body has been worked thoroughly, and you are panting. The circuit needs to be structured in regard to a number of exercises and repetitions and the time to complete all the exercises.
You will need to consult an experienced athlete or gym trainer and let the guide you on coming up with a good circuit training course. Find one, which is within your fitness level so you do not have to cheat or get too tired. Once you come up with the suitable program, get ready to begin as soon as you can.
Aerobic exercises

You can begin on the treadmill or a stationary cycle and do a sprint for 2 to 5 minutes. You may also include exercises such as rope skipping and others that will properly work on your cardio system.
Get onto the bars
Next you need to get on the bars and do a series of exercises that will work out most or all your muscle groups. You need to do chin-ups, bar raises, dips and all other exercises on the bar. These exercises will work on major muscle groups and get you to be stronger with lean muscle and endurance.
Do floor exercises
Finally, finish off the workout with floor exercises or calisthenics. Do all exercises on the clock which means as fast as possible. Exercises include pushups, sit ups, knee-bends, leg raises and others. Try to do two sets with 8 to 12 repetitions per set. All these exercises will make you super fit, fast, stronger and with plenty of endurance.
