Availability, safety, and sound standards are the very . Always remember that we are
dealing with a double-edged sword. Even top athletes could lose their
life if the simplest rules of lifting are violated.
Essential workout means exactly that. The minimum workout you need to
stay physically well. That modest goal should be reached very
inexpensively. That explains the first
basic.
Famous exercises such as
biceps, triceps, chest, abdominal exercises are not essential. Essential
exercises deal with the bulkiest and most needed groups of muscles, all of
them are working on the posture rather than to the extremities. You do not
need huge biceps, or chest or abdomen to have athletic posture unless you
have healthy shoulders, legs, and back muscles. This explains the second
basic.
Third, you have to start by training the shoulders
because they
carry the lightest weight: the arms. Starting by the shoulders means
minimal resistance and will prepare the lung and heart for an escalating
level of intensity. Two to five minutes of shoulder training will prepare
you for torso training. The torso carries the upper half of the body.
Another five minutes or so with this and you are ready to exercise
the legs, they carry most of the body weight and require fully prepared
cardiopulmonary system. This explains the
third basic. Violating these rules are
in most gyms you would visit.
