After all the exercises are done, cool yourself down with a cardio exercise. This means the jumping rope exercise is a great method for both warming up and cooling down.
Please always keep in mind that it is never recommended to a beginner to challenge the body so much. While planning a circuit training workout for a beginner, trainers always create routines that allows the body to gradually become challenging if necessary. Always ask your trainer before following any circuit training exercise and maintain a good form while doing so.
