Change Your Pace

By Matt Furey

One of the best things you can do when you exercise is vary the pace.Sometimes you train as fast as you can - provided you can do it with good form. You run hill sprints. You skip rope. You crack out a set of powerful push-ups.Sometimes you train at a moderate speed - walking, swimming, bear crawling, or duck waddling.

At other times you train at a slow or even super-slow speed. You concentrate on the FEEL of the exercise - inside your body as well as in your muscles.

And just for the thrill of it, you even train at no speed - holding postures while focusing on your breathing and the flow of energy.

Recently, I taught a group of men and women my "No-Rep Workout."

That's right. NO REPS.

What you do is get into a horse stance or the wall chair position and hold it while breathing in a specific way.

Then you get into push-up position and hold yourself in the halfway-down position.

After this, you get into a back bridge (sometimes mistakenly referred to as a "neck" bridge). As you hold this position, you focus on your breathing and stay relaxed. And you feel your legs, your hips and buttocks, your lower and middle back, your neck as well as your abdominals get the workout of their life.

These three exercises have the power to change your physique very quickly. In fact, they can work so well that you may feel as if you'd turned fat into muscle - which we've been told is a biological impossibility.
