Dr. William J. Kraemer, a professor of Kinesiology, Physiology and Neurobiology at the University of Connicticut School of Medicine (find out more about him here) notes that, "A total conditioning program addresses the five basic components of fitness: 1) cardiovascular endurance, 2) muscular endurance, 3) muscular strength, 4) flexibility and 5) body composition."
With this workout routine that is my hybrid P90X/One on One with Tony Horton plan, I have tried to incorporate all of these first 4 attributes. The cardiovascular endurance comes with the intensity and duration of the workouts (at least 35 minutes in length with not must rest time between exercises). The muscular endurance is a similar piece with the workouts being filled with activity and constant use of muscles. The muscular strength is accomplished by pushing and pulling weights that are uncomfortable enough to build strength. And the flexibility piece is taken care of through the 47 minute yoga routine.

The good thing about this is that #5 is really just a reward of working on numbers 1-4! I haven't reviewed the One on One with Tony, but it sounds like you've got your bases covered!
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a great ponit. #5 will definitely work itself out with proper execution of #1-4.
ReplyDeleteThe one part of the workout that is lacking is Shoulders. I just realized that. I need to get shoulders in there at some point.
I really like the One on One series. There are some really good routines in there and the variety is nice.
