The first thing to consider when you are aiming to change your programme around is how much time are you taking in between sets?
Are you the type to stand around and talk for 5 minutes in between each exercise?
If you are, then the change around I would recommend in your workout programme will not work anywhere near as well as it should be.
So tempo of your workout is something you need to look at before anything else.
If you are able to cut down the rest in between each set you take, then this will create you to become slightly out of breath. When this happens, your lung capacity is being challenged and if done sensibly, can and will improve quite quickly.
So if you picked 6 exercises and lets say you do them one after the other.
If currently, you take 5 minutes in between sets, then you are not boosting your fitness by much at all.
Try cutting that down to one minute, and see the big difference!
Eventually, you need to aim to get it down to 45 seconds.
The main difference you will have to make is reduce the weight you use in each exercise. This will be unavoidable because you wont have the energy to go at this increased tempo and still use your normal weights.
As the weeks go by, you will find your lung capacity improves greatly and your weights will slowly start creeping back up again.
This will mean your overall conditioning levels will go up dramatically, and the thought of going back to your old ways of training will no longer enter your mind!
