Time For a Change

Let me ask you something: if you did the same thing over and over at work, but you never got promoted or made progress, would you keep repeating the same actions? NO

If you have a certain way of studying for a test, but you just can't get higher than a C, don't you think you should do something different? YES

If you are trying to solve a problem, and one method doesn't work, wouldn't you try something else? YES

Okay, then wouldn't the same principles apply to exercise?

Many people go to the gym and do the same circuit, with the same weight, for the same reps. And they look the same today as they did yesterday, and they'll look the same next week and next month.

If your workout isn't producing results, or results fast enough, don't you think it's time for a change?

If your workout consists of these common exercises: leg extension, leg curl, inner/outer thigh machines, tricep kickbacks, crunches, and dumbbell curls then it is time for a serious change.

Those exercises will get you absolutely no where. You need to do compound, ground based movements such as squats, lunges, deadlifts, pushups, inverted rows, pullups, and similar movements.

Why do a lot of people not do these? Because they're tough!!! Our society is very lazy and wants everything the easiest way possible with the least amount of work. That is why these exercises are so popular.

Well, if you do the RIGHT exercises you can spend LESS time working out and get MORE results.

It's not as complicated as people make it out to be. Get in the gym, work hard at the right exercises, and you will get results much faster.
