Hindu Push up - Best Exercise Ever?

Is the hindu push up the best exercise ever?

Well it is right up there. I give you more information on it here Hindu Push Up along with a video to show you just how to do it, but let me just say this. Push ups are excellent exercises. I mean the military uses them in basic training. I know. I did a lot of them and many times because I must have not gotten an order correct. :-)

But the hindu push up is even better. With a variation they also become dive bombers. I will tell you the difference at the site I mentioned but suffice it to say this is an exercise you should consider throwing into your exercise routine.

Brun Fat Faster

How To Burn Fat Faster

Who wants to spend hours in the gym sweating over boring cardio?  Not me, for one, and now it turns out that working out less can actually make you fitter rather than fatter.

Scientists have discovered that working out in quick bursts at maximum effort is as effective as a non-stop low-intensity routine that takes twice the time. This is because the intense bursts of exercise encourage your body to build a type of muscle fiber that uses up oxygen and fat faster, burning extra calories in the process.

Try alternating 4 four-minute bursts of running at maximum effort with a three-minute recovery periods at a lower intensity.  Cut down on the recovery period times as you improve. I have found that, after a good warm up, running 8 speed bursts for 20 seconds followed by jogging recoveries of 40 seconds works really well. The shorter sprinting time allows you to run hard.

However, it takes time to build up to this.

1000 Reps?

Does 1000 reps seem feasible? Not in one workout but in 1 week.

If you are not an experienced weight lifter, I urge you to pass on this article. This is only for someone who is experienced and maybe wants to get past a plateau or is looking for a challenge. All others need not apply and I'm very serious about that.

About 15 years ago I made a New Year's resolution that I was going to do 50,000 push ups that year. Well I did it but it was awfully tough and I swore I'd never do anything like that again. And I won't. I don't have a desire at my age to try this type of challenge again.

But I am an affiliate of Vince (I get a commission selling his products) and he has excellent products, so I decided to at least pass this on as I know there are many experienced body builders who visit here and may not have heard of this and just might be intrigued. I have a few of Vince's workouts so am always interested in seeing his newest ideas.

I do something maybe similar which is to extend my reps throughout the day. That way I end up with a lot of reps (not 1000 :-)) by the end of the day. I have a perfect pull up bar in my doorway and on my pull up days, I start with 5 sets of as many as I can perform. Then as the day goes by I might go up there another 8 or 10 times and knock out as many reps as possible. By the end of the day my arms and shoulders and back are screaming for mercy.

I know it works. I'm just not sure there are many out there who can do this and this is NOT meant to entice you to buy the product. It's just to get your mind thinking that maybe you can come up with some new challenges in your workouts.

1000 Reps

Chin Ups and Pull Ups

Too many people seem to exclude chin ups and pull ups from your routine. It may be because they don't have a chin up bar or it may be because they are unable to perform them. Keep in mind you can head outdoors and use a tree branch. Or get the Perfect Pullup or another brand bar that installs in the doorway. Prices have plunged since I got mine.

Now if you have access to a bar that hangs in the doorway, try this. The chin up really focuses on the bicep muscle and the pull up hits the shoulders hard.

Close the door. Then perform either movement. The door being closed stops you from any sway whatsoever so the focus is completely on your arms and/or shoulders. I don't care if you can only do 1 to start, give this a try and you will slowly be able to work your way up to 7 - 10 of these and then watch out.

Mad Scientist Muscle

Mad scientist muscle. Sounds like a scientific way to exercise. Well it will cost you a buck to try out the program but let me give you the basics.

You are going to combine 2 body part exercises to work the same muscle by alternating reps. It kind of confuses your muscle I guess. An example?

Let's do the triceps. It's my favorite muscle to work on. Start out by doing 1 rep of skull crushers immediately followed by 1 rep of triceps presses. Keep alternating until you can no longer do the skull crushers and then - I like to continue and do as many additional presses as I can to wear out the triceps.

It works the individual body part considerably hard. Will it work for you? I don't know because I don't know how hard you are willing to work. But I would think it's worth a buck to see if it does?
