Physical Fitness Trends To Pay Attention To

By Henry Bove


In last week's post I spoke of the some of the fitness trends that have been recycled over the decades. I mentioned Kettlebells and the low carb diet plan.

One fitness leader who got credit in later years for his ideas was Arthur Jones. Jones was not a supporter of the strength training suitable of high volume training. That is doing multiple sets of a workout and then moving onto other exercises and doing the exact same.

Jones believed in doing one all out set to failure, and then moving onto an additional workout and doing the same. When Jones first presented these concepts in the 1970's, he was panned by critics who believed the volume approach purposed by top bodybuilders and others in the market was the way to go.

Arthur Jones additionally created the Nautilus line of machines. These machines offered an option to weights and assisted to isolate certain target muscles. He thought that devices could assist the average man be presented to strength training without the risk of injury.

He also believed in a slower rep tempo. That is doing repeatings in a super slow-moving manner. Today practically every fitness center in America has Nautilus equipments and a large amount of athletes use them for rehab.

They have paved the way for more advanced models. Many of the exercise viewpoints that Arthur Jones brought forward were brought into the mainstream by Mr. World Mike Mentzer and later six time Mr. Olympia Dorian Yates. While I do not feel these approaches are conducive for long term results, they would assist you survive a plateau. If utilized for short durations would bring excellent results.

Another training concept that is getting a great deal of attention is the Bulgarian training techniques.

I had the opportunity to speak to numerous coaches and found that the ideas we held here in America were backwards when it involved achieving outcomes. He additionally found that these techniques could be customized and made use of for individuals at all fitness levels.
