All sets at once or rotation

If you do 1 set and then move onto the next exercise, then the next, etc and then repeating is called a circuit. They are both good ways of exercising. The circuits are generally done with little to no rest and are almost like cardiovascular exercise because you fly them. So circuits i believe will be more of cardio work, stressing the muscles but not as much as would the traditional way- which would tax the muscles better since you are doing sets for the same muscle group.
