Physical Fitness Trends To Take Note Of

By Myra Roberson


In last week's article I mentioned the a few of the fitness trends that have actually been recycled over the years. I spoke of Kettlebells and the reduced carb diet.

One physical fitness pioneer who got credit in later years for his concepts was Arthur Jones. Jones was not a follower of the strength exercise perfect of high volume exercise. That is doing several sets of a workout then relocating onto various other exercises and doing the same.

Jones believed in doing one all out set to failure, and then moving onto another exercise and doing the exact same. When Jones initially presented these concepts in the 1970's, he was panned by critics who believed the volume method purposed by leading bodybuilders and others in the industry was the way to go.

Arthur Jones additionally produced the Nautilus line of machines. These machines supplied a choice to weights and assisted to isolate particular target muscles. He believed that machines can assist the average guy be presented to strength training without the risk of injury.

He additionally believed in a slower rep tempo. That is doing repeatings in an incredibly slow manner. Today almost every gym in America has Nautilus equipments and a lot of sportsmens use them for rehab.

They have broken the ice for advanced designs. Many of the training philosophies that Arthur Jones brought forward were brought into the mainstream by Mr. Universe Mike Mentzer and later 6 time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates. While I don't feel these approaches are conducive for long term results, they would assist you survive a plateau. If used for brief durations could bring great results.

Another exercise idea that is getting a lot of attention is the Bulgarian exercise approaches.

I had the chance to contact several coaches and found that the concepts we held right here in America were in reverse when it came to attaining outcomes. He also discovered that these techniques could be customized and used for people at all physical fitness levels.
