- VARIETY - AN IMPORTANT FITNESS COMPONENT

VARIETY

First of all, variety refers to the need to incorporate other things into our lives besides working out, our mental processes need more than one kind of stimulation.

Now, in the gym, variety applies in a couple of other ways. First, exercises themselves should be substituted for each other frequently.

The body thrives on change and diversity. Typically, it takes all about three workouts for the body to become totally familiar with the routine, so those who incorporate liberal substitutions will progress far faster.

Motivation to keep going to the gym and keep training with vision and enthusiasm is vital. If or perform the same old routine week after week, month after month, you have nothing to look forward to.

Every exercise we perform hits the body in a different aspect to every muscle group. By changing an angle of a bench, or steering our weight through a different arc, you can stimulate new areas into growth. A whole new see of fibers are stimulated when you change the order and the selection of exercises. It's when your don't change things around that you develop the basic body, the king that power lifters have - good bulk but very little symmetry or separation.

Over the years I've developed an armory of exercises for each body part, tried and tested movements that I consider to be of the best quality. These are, literally hundreds of weight training exercises, but our personal armory should consist of three or four exercises for each day. So the next time you work on that areas will make a new selection. Sometimes only angles change, an other times the exercises will change drastically.

Training with the same exercises for weeks, months, you are depriving our muscles of being hit from a large variety of angles.

I also stress the variety in talking about the number of reps. For the most part, we will training with a range of 6 to 24 reps, but keep in mind that stretching and contracting are more important than heaving or bouncing.
