Answer 1

Circuit training does show improvement. Anytime you work out more or better than usual you show improvement. However, on some circuit machines, you cannot change the level of the machine, so after awhile, you can plateau. Once that happens, you have pretty much benefitted all that you will from circuit training. Some machines you can start out low and work your way up. Once you get used to a certain level and begin to plateau, you can increase you workout by making the machine harder. You have to find the right kind of machines.
As for which kind is better, it really depends on what kind of workout you want. With free weights, you are only going to work one muscle group at a time. You have resistance going one direction and gravity takes care of the other direction for you. On circuit machines, you have resistance going both directions. Another benefit to circuit training is that it also tends to be more of a cardio workout as well as building muscle, whereas free weights really only works out your muscles.
Personally I really like circuit training.

Answer 2

Circuit training machines are very good-they are usually set up so that you do upperbody,then lower body.
They are both good-free weights give you a better range of motion than machines-use both free weights and machines for the best workout.

Answer 4

cycling and swimming are good yet once you choose an all rounder i choose to advise to start working you are able to commence with 5 minute runs and then artwork up! yet be confident you stretch afterwards, otherwise your muscle tissues will construct up and supply you a greater 'chunky' visual appeal
