”I Don’t Like Running, Hopping, Skipping, Trashing About, Or Picking Up Heavy Weights.” - that’s what my barber told me. He said,” I just don’t understand it”. He has little free time and hates to exercise, but he does strength train once a week. He said, “It is the perfect workout for me; once or twice a week works”.
Instead of seeing how much strength training your body can withstand see what is the least of exercise that will produce the most results. You work up to it slowly. Eventually it will be a demanding workout, but you need not do it that often and it will not take long. Add to that, activities you enjoy – swimming, walking the dog, biking. You'll feel better, look better, and perform better without hours at the health club. With such a plan you will find you will more likely stick to it.
In order to achieve results strength training you must work the muscles intensely. As a form of self-protection muscles adapt and become stronger when they are exposed to more demanding work than they are used to doing.
On average seventy percent of those presently members of health clubs will not rejoin. There are more former members of health clubs than there are members. For many health clubs end up being collection agencies disguised as health clubs. Many people start exercising with good intentions only to stop when their results are not forthcoming. More is not necessarily better especially if you don’t continue the program. If you can’t seem to stick to a program, or you just don’t have the time you might want to try High Intensity Interval Training for strength. With one consolidated workout HIIT will produces improvements in strength flexibility, cardiovascular endurance, and body leanness.
This is the type of training we do at New Orleans Personal Training and at Austin Personal Training. We can guide you through a HIIT personal training program that will enable you to get more out of less time exercising, so you can devote more time to enjoyable things rather than thrashing about in a gym.
