circuit weight training and total weight used
I have a question regarding circuit training. I have been reading on circuit training, and it seems optimal for my routine as I don't have much time to spare at the moment but would like to fit in say 30 minutes of resistance training when I can manage. Given they can target the full body, I think they would be ideal.
Would one use the same weight-total for all stations, or do you change them? For example, if I start with a 5kg dumbell, do I continue with it, or would I change it based on exercise? Given that most circuits expect you to jump from one station to another in seconds, changing weights would prove quite time consuming I guess, thats why I'm asking.
Also any opinions on circuit-training in general would be appreciated, as well as any sample workout templates for beginners like me :)

It's not mandatory to use the same weight for every exercise in the circuit, especially since some exercises may not require weight at all, and some may require more weight than can be performed with other exercises. The main thing to keep in mind with circuits is to keep moving. Try to pick weight that will allow you to complete your circuit the first time around, and then try to increase the resistance or circuit repetitions, depending on your goal.
