most hardcore workout takes 20 seconds
« on: November 05, 2010, 12:15:42 PM »
i laugh at all these tools buying into the latest workout craze video type crap. such as this 'p90-X' thing that everyone is talking about. that or the 'crosstrain' little gimmick. haha they all pay money to do some stupid routine to 'get a workout' in fast. 'you gotta try it bro it really works!!' ::)

there still hasnt been a better or quicker workout devised than simply running as fast as you can. its totally free and you dont need a gym:
go outside and try full sprinting (preferably up a slight incline), run as fast as your legs can physically move, and maintain your top speed for as long as you can. chances are it will only be a few seconds. do this a couple times and your body will feel like its been run over by a truck and you will be sore for days in random places, and the whole workout only took about one minute total.

Here here.  I've mentioned this a few times.  Nothing worse than someone talking about the P90X routine, giving each other praise for working out for 3 months and eating decent.
Meanwhile, this guy...me, has been crushing weights and diet straight for oh...about 8 years, off and on a good routine for almost 20.
The only comment I get are, "Steroids."

I marvel at the "complexity" involved in becoming fit/losing body fat.  It's such a stumper of a subject? ::)
Don't diet, change how you eat, workout consistent.  In many of my past relationships, I'm amazed at how many women..especially, talk about changing their body, but do nothing but workout for a month...diet shitty, then repeat the cycle.

Yeah I have a buddy who is a P90X fan now, even though when he used to train with me he actually looked like he worked out, now he just looks rail thin. I guess an hour or more of calisthenics and cardio will do that. He doesn't realize it, but he is the best example of how horrible these programs are. Same thing happened with a guy who I hadn't seen in years pops up out of the blue in the gym one day. One glance at him in his tank top I automatically assumed he hadn't worked out since I last saw him. Dude was jacked a few years ago (naive me then didn't realize he was also juicing) and now didn't look like he did anything physical. Lo and behold he tries to tell me how hardcore and intense Insanity training is after I just got done doing a triple drop set on squats super setted with walking lunges. Yeah bro, let me get my vision and hearing back and I'll discuss how intense your calisthenic workout is.

These programs are great for the simple fact that at least people don't have to put any thought whatsoever in to being physically active. More power to them for actually trying to get fit, however it may be. Just don't try to sell it as the end-all-be-all fitness program for that it is not.

And yea, first thing I tell people is "go try doing sprints for about 5 minutes and get back to me" if you want a no-brainer and quick workout. Saves lots of cash.
