Dynamic & Crazy Then Back To Basics
So as well all know, we don't take workouts lightly here at Flo Fitness or any other fitness facility we visit and workout at. We use fun and interesting equipment, performing functional movements in our training. We have a purpose when we train, not to just work on our triceps so our fist pump looks better when we hit the clubs. (Which we don't.. lol) We work out as a family here at Flo and mastermind different ideas to come up with movements and exercises to keep challenging our bodies. For example, TRX plyo push ups, TRX pistol squat jumps, FreeForm single leg curl, etc. and then we also have the crazy sandbag and kettle bell exercises, including our new addition, The Arc.
After training this way, your body learns to adapt to that type of stressor, even though it is a very tough workout, but eventually the muscle responds the same way. This morning I went back to the oldies, doing push ups, dips, barbell rows, bicep curls, just to see how my body responds. The response is almost immediate. It is about 30 minutes post workout, and my shoulders want to give, and thats why I am leaning on this desk right now typing up this blog. It is a different type of stressor on the body, performing exercises your body has not done or recognized in some time.
Your training program should change every 4-6 weeks to see changes and results. You learn by listening to your body. Take note and log your workouts. If you ever have to ask yourself, what I am not doing, look back at your workouts, change it up, try a different exercise, or just make it more challenging. Go deeper, add that weight. Push yourself to become better.
