5/15/2008

I was reading today's Urban from The Straits Times (15 May 2008)and there's this section on fitness routine.

So today's fitness routine is on 'First Eigth Kit', requiring individuals to do 8*8 routine exercises at a fast tempo. It is similar to doing super sets but instead of doing 2 exercises of each muscle group consecutively, we will be need to attempt 4 exercises for each muscle group.

So as quoted from the papers, ideally we will need to decide on 2 major muscle groups that the individual wanna work on for the day. ( For instance, chest and biceps..arghh but i dun like to work on these muscles ) Then we will select 4 exercises per group of muscles. And perform 8 sets of 8 reps of each exercise. So yeah..that is 32 sets per muscle per group.

But if it is too intense, we can add one more muscle group and do 3 exercises for each muscle group. That will make it 24 sets per muscle group.

To keep the cardio burning, restrict the rest time between sets to 15-30 secs. That should see us wrapping up the workout in 45 minutes.

Suggested muscle group sequence:-
Chest & biceps
shoulders and triceps
Back & Abs
Quads and Hamstrings

I'll probably find some time to do this routine. But maybe juz the back and abs part. heh. Slowly lah huh.. =)
