Changing Gears To Supercharge Your Workouts

Every once in a while or for some of us on a consistant basis, its good to switch things up to not only add variety to our training but to keep our minds sharp and keep the body guessing for whats coming next. It takes just one exercise to change your entire routine and no you don't need to do reps or go for speed but you can just hold a certain position for a period of time.

I would bet you that if you added one isometric exercise to your regimen, it will give a whole new meaning to strength training. Lets say for example you do 100 Hindu Squats then the moment you're done hold a horsestance for exactly 1 min. Is it easy? Well it's hard to say. Test it out and see what happens. Thats one small challenge to conquer but its a change of pace isn't it? I've held positions as long as 10 min. and I can assure you its no picnic but why take the easy road when you can put your body and mind to the test.

It takes a lot more guts to hold an isometric then it is to do 100 reps of something unless its an exercise that couldn't possibly be done at 100 much less 25, 10 or 4. Heres a workout that just would kill the strongest of men and take a min/body connection that would make elite athletes quiver.....Supersets Of Hell

100 Hindu Squats

5 minute horsestance

50 Military Push-ups

3 minute Mid-Push-up Hold

10 Pull-ups

1 minute Handstand Push-up Hold

Now if i'm able to do this workout in under 20 minutes I'd be the new Jack Lalanne. This is not a beginner workout and I don't expect you to ever get to it within a week. What i'm trying to get at is that when you take charge of changing your routine, you're putting in the effort to take your training to levels unlike anyone can imagine. Not saying you need to go hardcore all the time it wouldn't be ethical but theres no harm but amping up your conditioning and create workouts that not only suit for you but nobody else should do but you. If you want to take your workouts to levels that makes the average person want to walk away in shame then check out the best equipment and bodyweight books/dvds that these superhuman athletes have to offer. Look to your right.
