Admiration Of A Better Player Is A Good Thing
I like to think we all seemed to have our heroes and greats in
our early years. Growing up in front of a television had us
dashing around with a sword or packing a six-shooter at our
side. Depending on what we were watching at the time, whether...
Bass Fishing Facts And More
Bass fishing has a fascinating history. It started in the late
18th century and continues to progress until today.
It probably was originally practiced in search for food among
the people in the south of the United States. Since then, it...
Dieting our Way to Obesity
Dieting our way to Obesity:
To say that Americans are obsessed with dieting is an
understatement! Pick up any magazine, or turn-on any source of
advertising and you're bombarded with the latest diet schemes
and food fads. More often than...
History of Sports Memorabilia
The other day I was cataloguing three boxes of baseball cards
for a friend of mine and I began to think about how this entire
card collecting and sports memorabilia phenomenon began. If you
are a closet fan (as I am) of shows on television that...
Why Coach Soccer? And how to have fun doing it.
Why Coach Soccer? How to have fun doing it. Warren Buffet might not know soccer, but when he said, "Tell me your heroes and I'll tell you how your life will end up", he was onto something. When it comes to coaching, everyone wants a say but...

The Best Workout Routine
The best workout routine is actually no routine at all... But
the deliberate and conscious randomization and variation of
training methods, stresses and intensities.
Most people are looking for the best workout routine... they
want something they can do over and over again and get
predictable results.
They saw what worked for so-and-so... and they want to be just
like that.
Some famous person says they use the best workout routine... so
it must actually be the best.
Right?
Sorry to be the one to break it to you... But there is no "One
Size Fits All Absolute Best Workout Routine".
What works well for one person may not work at all for
another... and what works well for you now will not continue to
work well forever.
So does that mean we should just give up looking for an
effective strength, conditioning and fitness program?...
ABSOLUTELY NOT!
Just because the absolute best workout routine turned out to be
a non-existent fable does not mean you should give up on the
possibility of finding a successful workout program.
Nolan Ryan said... "Enjoying success requires the ability too
adapt. You shouldn't outline a program and etch it in stone. We
all have different physical limitations and skills that make us
unique individuals. Try to make modifications in your program to
enhance it. Only by being open to change will you have a true
opportunity to get the most from your talent."
Basically, the trick is to look for a program that is effective
in getting results, interesting to hold your attention,
modifiable to your goals, needs, abilities and limitations and
sustainable over
time.
The answer to the frustrating no best workout routine dilemma
is... No workout routine at all.
When we were children we would run, jump and play... and our
physical fitness reflected this participation in random physical
activity.
As we get older, we stop running, jumping and playing and search
for the best workout routine to provide us with all the benefits
of an active lifestyle.
Gyms, personal trainers and fitness experts all claim to have
the best workout routine.
And some do... For them, at that particular moment in time.
But that does not mean they have uncovered the best workout
routine for everyone.
My advice...
Look at strength, conditioning and fitness as a personal
journey... and not a destination.
Stop looking for the best workout routine and start physically
training.
Learn what works best for you, fortify your strengths and turn
your weaknesses into newfound strengths.
Experiment, get out of mind-numbing routine and above all
else... have fun.
I am sure that you will find that the physical and mental
benefits of the deliberate and conscious randomization and
variation of training methods, stresses and intensities will
greatly outweigh any benefits gained from any so-called best
workout routine.
The best workout routine... No routine at all.
