The Best Workout?

The Best Workout…

First I’ll start out by discussing another “slight” change to my previously mentioned workout. Maybe when I finally finish fine tuning it I’ll publish it as an “e-book”. I changed the “Cardio Divide”, sort of; I now mainly do hand to hand kettlebell swings for 2 minutes. Also on days I workout post work [I work 12 hour shifts] my finisher is jumping rope for as long as I am able, this is only 3x a month.

Ok I just finished reading an article on misleading research regarding high intensity interval training [HIIT]. The article was very well researched and written but my reaction to it probably was not the author’s intent. It got me thinking, does it really matter? The main thing for the majority of people is to get up and do SOMETHING. Steady state cardio, HIIT, tabatas, the “As seen on TV” flavor of the week, it doesn’t matter do something. Sure the “shake weight” looks stupid and I wouldn’t buy it, but if it gets one person off the couch doing something, great. Maybe it will become a “Gateway” tool for the person.
