I have been getting the same common questions from folks for over 10 years now in terms of why they continue to fail at losing weight, fail to get stronger, and fail to enhance their performance in the athletic realm. The truth is that most people, including advanced athletes, fail to adopt training and lifestyle habits that work. In order to TRULY improve all of your areas of health, fitness, performance, and overall appearance you have got to do all the right things. This may sound obvious, yet most people struggle with this so called "obvious" behavior everyday.
The truth is that outside of a healthy nutrition and lifestyle a failing training program is usually a result of any or all of the following 3 reasons:
1. Poor Training Protocol: Most of the time ignorance is the killer of a training program. Even though we can both agree that physical activity of most any form is better than living a sedentary lifestyle there are efficient ways of doing things and inefficient ways of doing things. Your training should consist of a battery of structured exercises with a sound plan designed for a specific purpose. In other words, if you are training your body for speed then the last thing you need to be doing is running marathons. Just use good old fashioned common sense.
2. Lack Of Multi-Joint (Big Core) Lifts: I don't care if your goal is weight-loss, weight gain, strength, speed, power, or total body fitness you have got to train big core multi-joint movements. Just like I have defined in many of my other articles, multi-joint lifts are lifts that involve more than one joint which means you utilize more than one muscle group to execute the lift at hand. This is most beneficial for your health and overall fitness. Kill more than one bird with one stone!
3. Not Enough Dynamic Strength Training: Remember that we ALL are creatures of motion! Because of this there is no better way to improve our range of motion, strength, and cardiovascular fitness all at one time than by including dynamic forms of strength training into the equation. Yes, kettlebell training, Olympic weight lifting, swinging a sledgehammer, or simply toting a sandbag around on your shoulders would all qualify as dynamic forms of strength training!
