  • The Top 5 Ways to Make Any Exercise Harder (Or Easier)
    The Top 5 Ways to Make Any Exercise Harder (Or Easier) By BJ Gaddour, CSCS, YFS2 www.WorkoutMuse.com One of the most frequently asked questions I receive from people all over the world is how to make an exercise harder (or easier) to best accommodate a wide variety of fitness levels. In my fitness career I have prided myself in developing a truly automatic system of exercise progressions and regressions within my own fitness bootcamp program design that has allowed people from all walks of life to safely and effectively be pushed to the limit while performing the exact same workout at the exact same time. Today I’m going to breakdown the top 5 ways to make an exercise harder or easier as needed for your own campers and clients or for your own personal workouts. Let’s get to it! Progression#1- Stability: Changing the Size or Position of Your Body’s Base of Support The overall stability of an exercise basically is determined by the relationship between your center of gravity (COG) and base of support (BOS). In other words, the less contact your body has with the floor (or stable surface) the harder it is for your body to stabilize itself during the exercise and visa versa. See below for a quick overview of how this applies: - Most Stable: when using a large base of support with your center of gravity positioned as close to middle of that large base of support as possible - Most Unstable: when using a small base of support with your center of gravity positioned as far away from the middle of that small base of support as possible The best way to demonstrate this stability progression is to use the front pillar variation as a case study.

  • Loading Recommendations for Muscle Strength, Hypertrophy, and Local Endurance: a Re-Examination of the Repetition Continuum
    sports Review Loading Recommendations for Muscle Strength, Hypertrophy, and Local Endurance: A Re-Examination of the Repetition Continuum Brad J. Schoenfeld 1,* , Jozo Grgic 2, Derrick W. Van Every 1 and Daniel L. Plotkin 1 1 Department of Health Sciences, CUNY Lehman College, Bronx, NY 10468, USA; [email protected] (D.W.V.E.); [email protected] (D.L.P.) 2 Institute for Health and Sport, Victoria University, Melbourne, VIC 8001, Australia; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Loading recommendations for resistance training are typically prescribed along what has come to be known as the “repetition continuum”, which proposes that the number of repetitions performed at a given magnitude of load will result in specific adaptations. Specifically, the theory postulates that heavy load training optimizes increases maximal strength, moderate load training optimizes increases muscle hypertrophy, and low-load training optimizes increases local muscular endurance. However, despite the widespread acceptance of this theory, current research fails to support some of its underlying presumptions. Based on the emerging evidence, we propose a new paradigm whereby muscular adaptations can be obtained, and in some cases optimized, across a wide spectrum of loading zones. The nuances and implications of this paradigm are discussed herein.

  • Bodyweight Workout for Women: Exercises You Must Try!
    Bodyweight Workout For Women: Exercises You Must Try! Body Weight Exercises For Women Certain bodyweight exercises can help tackle problem areas that are commonly experienced by women. Build muscle strength and stability overall with core exercises like crunches or planks. Tighten up your glutes and thighs with squats and lunges. Firm up chest muscles and get more sculpted looking arms by doing push-ups. These workouts are no-hassle and low cost yet effective. If you’re a busy woman keen to make fitness a priority, bodyweight exercises may be the answer. These exercises use your own bodyweight to give you a good strength training or resistance workout. A quick and efficient way to tone up, these can be done anytime, anywhere. There isn’t even the need to cough up for a gym membership or head to a local fitness center! Women can do many of the same bodyweight exercises men do to build muscle tone. So why have a bodyweight exercise regimen specifically for women? That’s because women generally tend to perceive certain body parts as problem areas – for instance, the hips and legs. Who wouldn’t want toned legs in a dress or shorts! Also, things like the menstrual cycle, childbirth, and childrearing can take their toll on the body, making core exercises really vital to staying strong. With age and babies, it’s also important to keep your breasts well-supported. And that’s where chest exercises come in, helping maintain muscle definition and prevent sagging. Do not try and compare your performance to that of men around you or even to other women you know.
