In today’s society, most people use a couple of different ways to get into what they call shape. Actually, most people have no idea what getting fit really means. Getting fit isn’t driving to the gym to walk on a treadmill but doing some curls in the hopes of getting bigger arms to impress the ladies.
Being fit means being able to respond when your body is called upon. If you look around you, you will find one person after another running through the streets in the name of fitness. Running is time consuming and in my opinion does nothing more than make you a runner.
I can give you just two exercises that, if you did them, would bring massive benefits in total body development, as well as build a lean attacking type body and reduce body fat.
The problem is that people jog because it’s the easy way out. The easy way out never works. The two exercises I want to tell you about will surprise you and the results will come extremely quickly but at a price. The price is sweat.
Each exercise is a king of exercises in its own right, but together they make an incredible combination.
Jump rope and push-ups are a combination that will have the fittest man or woman dunking in a puddle of sweat in just a few minutes. Both exercises combined or alone are enough to get fit without leaving home.
Both the push-up and the jump rope have been used by great athletes for decades. But with the media, the basics have been pushed aside for more complicated workouts from glam-type hot guys that focus on six pack abs.
A short, quick workout using a jump rope and push-ups will take you back to simpler times, times when people exercised to get fit, not just to look good.
Both exercises will work almost the entire body and with just two exercises and the speed of the results, you will become more athletic, leaner and more explosive than using the standard gym training routine prepared for you by a trainer who has not won the sweat still. Remember that it is the simple and hard work that gets the results.
The Workout: Jump rope as fast as possible 100 times, then drop down to do 25 push-ups doing them as fast as possible. You’ll repeat this back and forth without a break for 10 rounds, which means you’ll end up jumping rope 1,000 times and doing 250 push-ups. See how many laps or how many times you can do this circuit.
