Let The Music Make You Dance; Or, The Aches Go Away, But You Will Need A Hat
Don’t hold the dumbbells too tightly, or your hands will hurt.
And the body aches go away after a week or so, and nobody ever remember having them.
But working out, is non stop.
How can you workout non stop, when you can barely lift 10 times.
You first have to move for an hour with 3lb dumbbells, that is pretty achievable.
And then you slowly start mixing in the 5lb dumbbells, until you can workout with them non stop.
You need to perform standing dumbbell exercises, they are pretty easy to guess.
And one after another, when biceps get tired, you switch to your shoulders.
And this is where it get complicated, because you can’t just stand there – lifting.
You need to dance, that converts the 6 muscle exercise, into a full body exercise.
You get legs, abdominal, biceps shoulders, and they all fill-in in the correct sequence.
You always look nice, and never misshapen.
Your music, has to be on the slow end, and that almost always means 90’s country.
And might as well get your self a cowgirl hat, the overhead lamps are too much.
Fresh, neat songs are not optional, and you have to hit every beat.
This is how you enter a dance trance, kind of like driving home from work.
Your first workout should be 3 minutes long, non stop lifting, that was a tough one for me.
Dancing a full song with dumbbells, may be challenging.
But your stay at the gym should be 30 minutes, so you repeat your 3 minute workout.
Before you know it, you will be able to cycle, standing dumbbell exercises for 15 minutes non-stop.
You can go higher in weight, or double the time.
Working your way up to that hour, is pretty mathematical.
You can use an interval timer, or start by jogging with dumbbells.
Once you are dancing with 3 or 5lb dumbbells, you are in, you go from training to workout.
Lift light, but not so light, that you can lift more, and never lift so much that you are forced to stop during your hour.
You can stop for a little, but stopping because it was too much, probably ruins your workout.
The boys devastate their workouts this way, they lift too heavy and thus for not long enough for the body to adapt.
It is important for you to understand, that fitness is not optional.
Without it we prematurely age, and our bodies don’t just wither but deform.
Get a cowgirl hat, download all the 90’s country, the tempo is just perfect.
And start at the beginning of the dumbbell rack, aiming to get to non stop for an hour.
That is the real fitness, and workout, and bodybuilding is just increasing dumbbell weight.
I lift 17.5lb per hand, for three hours five days a week, that is enough for very nice, low impact, and safe bodybuilding.
Lastly, when you get overwhelmed, and must stop, that is data, that is your maximum duration.
And now you need to know, how long you must rest to do it again- and that is your rest period.
Fill your 30 minutes of hour with, workout-rest, workout-rest, and watch your rest periods slowly shorten as your body adapts.
Precisely like a jogger, you gain endurance to move for an hour.
And again that first hour, slow beats, low weights, non-stop, hat.
Is where you go from training for a workout, to actually working out.
Result, as you get older, you will discover you did not age.
Fitness and bodybuilding does not hurt, the pain comes from you already becoming out of shape.
If you are older, out of shape, or large, no worries, but, you still start with a hat, because you are going walking.
You can get your body out of trouble by walking the Appalachian Trail, but trouble means you don’t get to wait for first day of spring.
If your body is in trouble, you must now get up, go to the store with cheap hiking supplies.
And buy a backpack, fancy knife, tent, sleeping bag, and one of those danger orange miniature poop shovels.
The shovel is a sign to other hikers, that you mean business, and will return to the trail mo matter what.
And as soon as you can, pitch your tent in your living room, play some bird sounds, and get in the mood.
As with bodybuilding, you will eventually have to stop and sit, so again, you measure how long you walked, perhaps with landmarks.
And then time how long you need to rest, to do it again, and you keep on walking, and it will transform you.
