Alternatives to circuits?

I have realised I really hate circuits - doing a series of exercises and then repeating - I find it so boring and can't be bothered to push myself. I don't mind doing the same exercise serval times in a row (like weight sets at the gym). Are there any good alternatives for home workouts that aren't circuits?

Would supersets work for you? They usually involve alternating between 2 exercises for several rounds with no break. So something like this (which was an awesome workout by the way!): runningonrealfood.com/full-body-superset-workout/

Yeah I do supersets, it really makes the most of doing the exercise for four sets but interspersed with sets of other exercises. I normally do three supersets of 2-3 exercises, so 7-9 in total. I put some good music or a podcast on to keep my brain occupied so I don't get bored. Plus I have three different loads of supersets so don't do the same exercise for more than 4 sets per week. The James Smith academy app really helps plan these supersets and making notes of what you lift and it reminds you next time what you lifted in which set.

Yes! This is what I was hoping to find, thank you :-) From a quick glance both look good, I'll investigate futher.
