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.
