237. Straight Sets, Supersets, and Circuits: What’s Best for Body Recomp?


Listen Later

Not all workouts are built the same - and if your goal is body recomposition, that matters.


In this episode, I’m breaking down the difference between straight sets, supersets, and circuits so you can better understand what each one is, what each one is good for, and how they actually impact your results.


A lot of women have been taught to think that the “best” workout is the one that leaves you the most sweaty, out of breath, and exhausted. But harder is not always smarter, especially when your goal is to build muscle, get stronger, and change your body composition.


I’m also sharing how I use these different training styles inside my UFYF: Fit Club, and why workout structure should always match the goal.


If you’ve ever wondered why some workouts feel more strength-focused, why others move faster, or whether circuits are “bad” for body recomposition… this episode will help clear it up.


In this episode, we cover:

  • What straight sets, supersets, and circuits actually are
  • What each workout style is best used for
  • Which structure tends to work best for body recomp
  • Why ‘sweaty and exhausted’ does not automatically mean effective
  • How I use these methods inside Fit Club
