  ABSTRACT: The paper gives an optimization model for a special type of exercise session, circuit training. Circuit training involves a series of exercises performed in rotation with minimal rest. The goal of our model is to minimize the total circuit time while accomplishing a number of training goals. Our primary model is a linear integer program; additional constraints are added for muscle group and intensity requirements. The model is implemented and tested on algebraic modeling language AMPL. Our computational results show that the model can return an exercise schedule for a typical real-life data set within a few seconds.
