- Essential workout can be executed in less than half an hour in
any space that is a two-arm-span wide, be it your bedroom, office,
kitchen, bathroom, parking lot. That is you would not need membership
to any fitness authority to get fit.
- Essential workout is the common denominator between all levels
of training. That is if you have never worked out before or if you are
on the top of advanced athleticism, your essential work out should
consist of three portions one for each of these parts of the body:
legs, trunk (torso), and shoulders, in the order of their priority to
sound physical well being.
- The order of exercises will be in reverse to the order of
priority. That is shoulders will be trained first, then trunk and
finally the legs. Why?
(a) Many people start warm up for leg
exercises by warming up the legs heavily and end up by serious shoulder
and back injuries because those weaker parts in relation to the strong
legs cannot stand a sudden heavy workout of the legs before getting the
former well prepared in tone and perfusion.
(b) many others would warm up
for heavy shoulder lifting without executing essential
workout of the torso and legs before ancillary
shoulder training and incur serious back injury.
Thus essential workout is a prerequisite to ALL ANCILLARY
exercises. The
latter encompass all and any exercise that is not essential, i.e.,
ancillary exercises are those with weights, with high skill, and those
that intend to advance rather than to maintain physical fitness.
(c)
Advanced athletes are more vulnerable to injuries than cautious beginners
when the former omit essential training as a prerequisite for any workout.
Many of the most serious injuries to the back, shoulders, and knees are
easily preventable by religiously executing essential workout every time
intense training is involved. Even a simple daily activity such as lifting
a child, a grocery bag, or bending on a sink to reach a faucet would
result in serious injury in those who habitually omit essential workout.
(d) Essential workout though modest, inexpensive, requires little time
is most invaluable for all and everybody and they could suffice as sole
routine of workout. Moreover, essential workout could get you remarkable
strength that exceeds that of heavily trained athletes.
