What Is The Best Workout?

There isnt such thing as an ideal workout! An excellent workout should be adjusted according to:

- your fitness level

- your current form

- your fitness cycle phase

- your specific objectives: mass building, fat loss, max strength or endurance, etc.

You have to adjust these three conflicting parameters to your reality:frequency, duration and intensity

Every workout, depending on the subject and the prevalent conditions may be effective and even commendable.

What really counts is focusing and dedication to certain fundamental, abiding, non negotiable principles and not agonizing over minutiae and exotic details!!

Some fundamental principles I have in mind:

- consistency

- persistence

-self-motivation

- exit from the comfort zone which means sweat, exertion, adversity, hardship and finally transcendence

- a balanced programme with aerobic activities, strength training and static stretching.

- keeping a careful watch over the caloric value of your food

- sound, supportive nutrition.

Adjust intensity, frequency and duration to your demands.

Personally I am a fanatic advocate of intensity.I love to combine hill sprinting with full bodyweight workouts or circuit weight training in the same short session.

Three sessions of 30'-40' per week would be more than enough to ensure a perfect form.

Remember: If you perspire more, you have better odds! That simple!Intensity is the absolute secret for a real body metamorphosis.

If you have hamster genes and can torture yourself for 60' over a treadmill just to burn 300 calories, thats OK!

Then again, if you are the awesome lone wolf of the outdoor H.I.I.T., thats OK too!

The message is that both lone wolves and hamsters have progress margins- in proportion of course to their temperaments,capabilities and efforts.

Its on you to decide on which side you want to belong!

To your health
