I'm always trying new workouts. Developing them, and trying them out, and seeing if something helps in the challenge to lose weight and keep it off. After 40, the body begins to slow down. If the diet stays the same as in the 20's and 30's problems can begin to fester, coagulate, and begin to stay a while. Back in 2011 I began trying cardio, and bodyweight exercises to help me lose weight,and keep it off. Here is my newest workout, to help in the continuing challenge to lose weight and keep it off. I call it the Maxx workout.
Exercise 1-do pushups until you can't do anymore. That's right do pushups until you can't do anymore, and then stop. Write this number down and go on to the next exercise.
Exercise 2-do 10 leg lifts, and work your way as far as you can from 10. For instance do 10 leg lifts,9 leg lifts, 8 leg lifts,and so forth until you hit 1. Your back will probably give out on the way, just right this number down. If you do 10 all the way down to 7 just write it down.
Exercise 3-do as many front squats as you can. No more no less. Write this number down.
Get the picture, you are maxing each set out, instead of doing a specified number. That way your muscles are forced to push as hard as they can.
Exercise 4-get a set of rubber bands and start at 10 reps of flies to exercise your shoulders. Start at 10 and work as far down to 1 as possible.
set 1-10 reps
Set 2-9 reps
Set 3-8 reps
Set 4-7 reps and one and on. Write that number down like this. 10,9,8,7, this signifies how many sets you got done, for a totoal of 32 reps total, over 4 sets. Just go until you can't go anymore. At this point you should feel like you might be sweating, because you are!!! Keep it up.
Exercise 5-do pushups until you can't do anymore. Write that number down.
Exercise 6-Leg Lifts Start at the set you left off at, might be 7 and work your way down by number. 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 and writhe that number down, like this. 7,6,5, and on the 4th set if you could on do 2, write it like this. 7,6,5,2, and start on 4 during your next version of this exercise.
Exercise 7-Do as many front squats as you can, now maxx it out!Write it down.
Exercise 8-Do as many reps with your bands as you can. Start at say 6 and work down to set 1. If you exhaust one way, do overhead presses. Until you can go anymore.
Exercise 9-Pushups until you can't go anymore. Write them down.
Exercise 10-Leg lifts
Exercise 11-Front Squats
Exercise 12-Bands
You will be exhausted after all this. And write that down.
How this works, is your muscles will exhaust themselves from working at their peek instead of doing exericses in order, your muscles will never know what's coming next. Its a good way to insight what's called Muscle confusion.
