The Main Principle Used in This Workout

Ok, people keep wanting to know exactly *why* I say the "Working Class Cardio Workout" is such a kickass program, and you can do much on it.

Stuff like:

-get better cardio...w/o doing "cardio"
-be stronger and more explosive
-lower your bodyfat
-have a better-looking physique
-do workouts that are actually shorter than usual
-be able to outwork anybody you know
-generally just be more healthy

There's more, but you get the idea.

So, is the "Working Class Cardio Workout" magic, am I full of crap and hype, or what? What's the deal? How does it all work?

I'm gonna lay it out - simple-style. There's "more to it" than this, but this is the general idea:

-circuit training allows you to do multiple exercises at one time

-not resting between exercises (only between circuits) means that while one muscle group is working, others are resting

-this allows muscle groups to still get the longer periods of rest they need, but your heart and lungs are working the entire time (not to mention your body as a whole)

See how that works? You basically just always work a part of the body, while another part of the body rests. This allows you to develop strength, be explosive, and build muscle.

Meanwhile, you're huffing and puffing the whole time, giving you better cardio - w/o doing an actual cardio workout.

The "trick" to the whole thing is that you can't just slap together a bunch of different exercises and think it's gonna work.

You gotta pick the right kinds of exercises, in the right order, stuff that works well with one another to promote blood flow between muscles (and makes your heart work the hardest...and there is a science to this).

As awesome as circuit training can be, if you goof it up, you'll end up just wasting your time. Which is what so many people did for so long...and why circuit training had such a bad reputation for so long (and still does in some circles).

So why not just avoid the guesswork, guarantee success, and just...

=>GET THE "WORKING CLASS CARDIO WOROUT"

Then, all you gotta do is add effort. ;-)

This is a great post about circuit training. It did fall out of fashion. I remember way back when (a really long time ago) circuit training was the "in" thing to do...then it died a slow silent death.

But your program is bringing the awesome concept (if poorly executed in the past) back.

Very cool!
