Real, holistic, health-first fitness is not just about moving heavier weights, doing more reps, and ‘pumping up’ your muscles. Think about it, most exercises in modern fitness systems are so simple to the point of mind-numbing boredom. I mean really, how many push-ups, sit-ups, bicep curls, treadmill runs, or whatever, can you do and not feel like there should be something more. Listen to that intuition because it’s your body screaming at you that it is craving sophistication in your fitness. Doing the same things over and over and over may yield results at first but eventually will lead to diminishing returns. You must step up to the next level!
Here’s how:
1. Learn the Technique: Once you have chosen to start on a CST program, begin at the beginning. Start at the most basic level, even if it seems too easy, and learn all the fine points of the technique
2. Train with Intensity: When you feel confident in all the details of the technique then it’s time to turn on the juice. Ratchet up the exertion level to attain a training effect.
3. Increase the Level of Sophistication: When you are performing at high intensity and start to feel that it is becoming easier for you to handle it is time to consider moving up in complexity. In essence you are returning to Step 1 and learning the technical variations of the next level.
Repeat this process in an incremental process (baby steps!) and you will find yourself feeling and moving better than you ever have before!
For a perfect entry-level resource to learn this fundamental CST concept you can do no better than checking out the FlowFit DVD. Or if you are ready to move on to the next level then step up to the incredible sequel: FlowFit II.
Get Forward Pressure to apply this protocol to a specific plane of motion – and learn some awesome sophistications on the basic, tired old push-up.
If you want comprehensive program that will bring you incredible attribute development AND superior movement sophistication then get started with the program that more and more military, law enforcement and first responders are using: TACFIT
