Why one skill at a time in Foundation One versus a circuit training?

Hi,

I am wondering why the Foundation One program is trained doing sets and reps for each skill before moving on to the next skill versus training all the skills together as a circuit?  

Thanks for clarifying.

Excuse me if this has been asked elsewhere, I searched for awhile but could not find an answer to this question.

Hi Kendra, 

That is a great question.

Gymnastic Strength Training focuses heavily on building a solid Foundation. Lots of joint prep and strong foundations will take you far in the program. Mastering the first move will prep you for the next move and so forth.  

Hi Kendra,

For building strength, multiple sets of the same exercise in a row generally buid a deeper level of fatigue and hence a stronger super compensation response.  

Circuit training is more appropriate when seeking a conditioning response.
