'70s Workouts = All Wrong

Was catching up w/an old friend recently...a guy I hadn't seen or talked to since high school. We were talking about what we were doing, where we'd been, and the like.

Of course, it wasn't long before I brought up business and my site, WorkingClassCardioWorkout.com

When I told him it was all about circuit training, he began to laugh at me. See, we were both big into working out in high school.

"Circuit training?" he scoffed at me. "What man, does your program come with a velvet jump-suit and a discount on a universal machine, too?"

I had to laugh...esp since it sounded like he'd swiped a line right out off my website - LOL.

But fact of the matter is, is that his reaction is not at all uncommon. This is the kinda thing that many folks think of when you mention circuit training...goofs on
old, ugly, monstrous universal machines in the '70s, pumping reps away with no real effort...or weight, either.

And that's what's why circuit training got such a bad rap over the years. You had a bunch of people really screw it up, and therefore that's what everybody thought
it was all about.

But nothing could be further from the truth.

For instance, the circuit training in the "Working Class Cardio Workout" is all about:

-athletic exercises to make you move your own body better

-lifting heavy to make you stronger

-lifting fast to make you more powerful

-stacking exercises together to give you great cardio

-ramping up workouts to increase intensity, then backing off to let you rest & recover

Does any of that sound like the crap you normally think of when you think "circuit training"? Didn't think so.
