Circuit Training App

Sworkit turns your iPhone into a personal trainer

Circuit trainer in your pocket

Circuit training — rapidly transitioning from exercise to exercise with little to no rest — is the fitness rage.

It's also nigh impossible to do on your own. Keeping track of where you are in the circuit, how many reps you've performed and why you're on the verge of blacking out is surprisingly difficult.

Enter Sworkit, the new app and site that crafts, times and keeps track of a host of circuit training programs.

First, select a workout duration. Second, choose your routine (full body, upper body, core strength or one of five others). Third, get ripped!

The program calls out (and illustrates) the exercise to perform then counts down a 30 second timer. Once that timer reaches zero, bam — it's on to the next muscle-shredding exercise.

Don't worry, every two minutes or so the program gives you a rest, guaranteed.

Which is definitely more than we can say for the recently paroled personal trainer screaming at you in the gym.
