Anaerobic Workout
The following routine is not going to develop a
bodybuilders physique. It will, however, increase your endurance and power. There is a
specific sequence to the exercises, so that the heart rate is elevated and stays elevated
throughout the workout. The thirteen exercises are performed nonstop, or with as little
rest as possible. Once through, you have completed one routine. Rest for 30-60 seconds and
begin again. In the first weeks you find that two or three routines will be plenty, you
may even feel a little nausea after two trips, this is normal in the beginning. As you
progress you will feel empowered and invigorated after your workouts. Experienced lifters
will notice that they are using lighter weights and working harder. That's because you are
moving from one exercise to the next with little or no pause. This routine should be
performed three times a week. Your goal should be to increase the weights you use and
increase the routines you finish. If you are not achieving three routines per workout,
lower your weight, focus more and rest a little more between sets, not too much or you
will lose the aerobic benefit. You should always warm up before you begin the routines and
stretching is paramount. After you have completed your workout, warm down and stretch.
You should choose weights that require you to push but not cheat on the last two reps,
once you are able to finish all reps without forcing any reps, increase your
weight(workload).
Not only will your endurance improve, your strength will increase, you will also
burn calories more efficiently and you will, more than likely sleep better. As a matter of
fact, all circulatory aspects of your life will improve!
