You have seen them before. Those programs that guarantee you everything under the sun. They'll show how to have general, overall, and balanced fitness. But is that something you should really try to achieve?
Here are a few reasons why a "well-balanced" fitness program is not really in your best interest.
First, "balanced" is commonly an euphemism for "spread too thin." When you try to focus on being balanced, it frequently means you're not targeting specific areas of facets of your fitness in a fashion that will help you gain significant results. If you work on your arms one week, then your legs next followed by your chest and abs after that, and so on... What are the chances that you'll truly see significant results in any of these areas?
Chances are you'll just "feel the burn" for one or two days and then that'll be it.
It's a lot better to concentrate on one area at a time so that you can improve your arms and attain sound arm strength first before you move to another part of your body.
Second, regardless of if you do concentrate on thoroughly on each body part in your balanced exercise program, you will not have sufficient time to enjoy life. To fully and completely train every part of your body in a carefully balanced fashion you would need to piddle away hours and hours exercising each week. Say bye to your loved ones or anything looking anything at all like a life of your own. You have to spend the following few months living at the gym.
Instead, isn't it better to invest a bit of time targeting one muscle group at a time. Your exercise routines can be compacted to half an hour a few times per week instead of hours spent at the gym.
I'm sure your loved ones will appreciate your presence round the house lots more.
And finally there is a widely held belief that you will lose your gains if you target one area of your body at a time. This actually is not correct since your muscle systems are actually inter-connected in a very intricate way. Many times when you work one part of your body, you will be indirectly training another areas of your body.
Truth be told it's really better to maintain the gains when you have got them. It's kind of like how once you get a ball rolling down a field, it has got a little momentum to it. It's simply the same way with your body.
So, don't try to pursue a "balanced" fitness routine. Instead look for one that concentrates on building sturdy results in a particular area so you can truly concentrate on that area and master it, whether or not that be gymnastic rings exercises, parallettes exercises, or anything else in fact. Its better to have a deep appreciation of something than a broad understanding.
