You Choose What Your Fitness Objective Is, and We Will Provide and Educate You On the Correct Workout Routines To Meet It.

Workout routines vary as far and wide as does the ocean and the people of this world. We will cover every possible program we can, giving you the good, the bad, and the ugly. Every form of exercise and/or physical training has its pluses and minuses.

This is largely in part to our bodies being so adaptable, for example if we row a boat all our life we are going to be darn good at rowing a boat, but horrible at climbing a mountain. Why, because although we may be in great shape, our body is not trained to climb a mountain. Instead, it has adapted, through training, the most efficient and productive way to row a boat.

Workout routines are the same way, going back to our example, one of them is similar to rowing a boat and the other is climbing a mountain. Therefore, the very first thing that needs to be decided upon is your fitness training objective, in other words what do you want to be able to do, look like, or feel like whenyou are done training? Do you want to be a bodybuilder or do you just want to get trimmed, toned, and look great. To jump straight to the training routines then click on the link below that matches your fitness goal. Keep reading to find out what every good training program should contain.

Rapid Fat Burning Workouts

Or do you want to just be able to run around with your grandchildren when they come over? It's up to you and we have a program for every situation imaginable.

However, at the very base level, all workout routines and fitness training programs must have these five components:

1. Objective
A very specific outcome that the program is designed to accomplish. (i.e. weight loss, build muscle, muscle endurance, etc.)

2. Periodization
A very precise plan to get the best results through manipulation of training reps, intensity, and frequency over a specified period of time culminating in a peak fitness level. Every good strength and conditioning coach uses periodization in their fitness programs in order to have their athletes in peak fitness at the start of competition. This very same idea should be used by every single person who trains, whether it be to loose fat or play in the NFL, because it helps to prevent against stagnation and plateauing in your fitness.

Periodization allows us to work with our body instead of against it,to achieve the best possible results. The body must have active rest periods where workouts are still performed, but they are either less intense or a completely different training modality. This rest period gives our brain and body a break. Which in turn leads to significant gains in weight loss, muscle strength, and prevents burn out.

3. Progression
This may seem like the same thing as periodization to some, but it is very different. Our bodies have to be exposed to progressive overload in order for them to adapt and improve. Lets take our stomach as an example, if we have eaten small portions of food all of our lives and we are forced with eating a giant sized proportion, lets say, in an eating contest, we won't place very well. Now, if we trained our stomachs to stretch and enlarge by eating progressively larger portions of food the year leading up to the competition we would have a far better chance at winning. Unfortunately, this is a great example of how our muscles work, but also describes how the average American has eaten their entire lives, like they are training for a food eating competition.

I digress, another great example of this is the popular legend of Milo of Crotona. According to the legend our man Milo began carrying a young bull calf on his shoulders every day and as the bull grew so did Milo, in size and strength. By the time the bull was full grown Milo was a very strong man, simply by using the method of gradual progressive overload. Now, I don't recommend running to your local farm and buying a bull, but I do want you to understand the power of progressive overload.

Please Don't Try to Pick Up the Bull

Progressive overload is so important in every single aspect of our lives, not just fitness, that it very well may be the single most important tid-bit you can learn from me. You MUST push yourself a little past your comfort zone to achieve results, end of story.

4. Excitement factor
You have to want to do your workout, bottom line. Therefore your workout must have an excitement factor to it or you will get very little benefit out of it, burn out, and never want to workout again.

This is what happens with many hopeful body transformers, they will attempt to do workouts from magazines, or what a friend tells them, or heck maybe even go to a trainer, but a lot of times the workouts are stale,boring, and end up failing for our eager trainee.

You must get fulfillment out of your workout routines both while you are performing them, as well as, after you have finished them.

5. YOU!
A workout is just a piece of paper with scribble on it until somebody like you picks it up and puts it into action. But, there is more to it than just being present and doing to the prescribed movements. Whether your workout routines call for half hour training sessions or two hour training sessions you must be physically, mentally, and emotionally present for that full time period.

Personally, I will not train anybody who is not 100 percent with me on all three of those factors. You have a very short period of time, in your day, to improve your health and body. As far as I know, it is physically impossible to be in two places at once. Therefore, you can't accomplish anything else while you are training. So, there is no reason in thinking about anything else.

You have scheduled this time in your day to better yourself through fitness, so DO IT. Forget everything else you have on your plate and give 100 percent focus to the matter at hand. Which is making your body perform the best it possibly can. You have the rest of the day to worry and stress about everything else going on in your life.

Fitness training allows you to break free from the stresses of your life while also improving your body, energy, and mental attitude. So, use it to your advantage.

Without these five factors a program, fitness or otherwise, will fail.
