So you are starting to realize that its time to change your programme, and doing the same old thing will get the same old results.
Then we talked about the need to change the tempo of your workouts, you need to rest less in between exercises, in order to work your lungs harder and increase the amount of oxygen you are able to take in at any one time.
This process can shock you a little, and can take a few weeks to get used to. The great news is that once you do, you won’t want to train any other way!
Then once you have become used to this way of doing things, you need to make sure you are picking the right exercises to enhance your workout.
We have talked many times about “exercise cost”, and how the bigger the energy cost of each exercise, the more benefits you would have in calories burned, body fat burned and positive effects on your metabolism..
So you need to consider some more options.
Weights are not the only way to get stronger, though they are still important.
Medicine balls/walls balls can be a session on its own.
Bosu balls can dramatically improve your strength all over, dramatically improve your core, and add brand new dimensions to your training.
The swiss/fit ball is a great tool, but often mis-understood and always under-used. The balance work is vital on here, and should be an integral part of your training programme.
Boxing is vital to any programme, and you don’t have to be a boxer to do it of course.
Just these 4 pieces of equipment can revolutionalise your training and bring you dramatically different results! More tomorrow.
