The Total Body Conditioning Workout

If you’re somebody who wants to push your body to the ultimate limits, and reach the absolute maximum physical potential that your body has, then you want to focus on total body conditioning. Not only does total body conditioning focus on providing you with incredibly strong muscles, but it also has a strong focus on building up your cardiovascular endurance to the extreme.

A large part of total body conditioning is going to consist of carrying out a high number of repetitions in your weight training sessions. These repetitions are going to push your body beyond any of the physical limitations that you previously thought you had, and not only that, they will also push past any mental limitations that you might have previously had in place.

When you take part in a total body conditioning training program, carrying out the high repetition weight training is going to bring out the absolute best in you both mentally and physically. After you have completed the program successfully, you’ll not have any fear of taking on any situation that life puts in front of you due to the fact that you will have reached a level of body and mind conditioning that will make you tough as nails. You will feel unstoppable.

25 Repetitions Workout

The following information is going to provide you with some workouts that you can do which will push you beyond your limits and provide you with killer results:

The program is going to start by picking an exercise for each of the following muscle groups; your back, chest, shoulders, legs, abs, triceps, and biceps. In order to get going, you’re going to perform 25 repetitions of the first of your exercises, and then without resting, carry on to the next exercise and perform another 25 reps, and then repeat until you have worked all the way through the exercises without resting. When you have completed the initial circuit of the seven different exercises, you will then be able to take a few minutes rest, and then carry on with another circuit. In total, you’re going to want to complete four circuits which will entail you doing 100 repetitions for each of the seven exercises total.

Listed below is what could be construed as a sample workout which would need to be completed a minimum of three days a week, and it doesn’t matter which three days, as long as you skip a day in between. For the purpose of this article, we’ll just say Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.

In order to get started off right, you’re going to want to stretch out first, and then warm up a little bit by doing either a nice brisk walk on a treadmill, or a nice jog. After you’ve warmed up, it’s time to go to the weights.

1. Start out by going over to the squat station and do your 25 reps there,
2. Quickly move over to the bench press, and do your 25 reps there,
3. Followed by barbell rows,
4. then an overhead press,
5. then some biceps curls,
6. then some tricep extensions,
7. finish it up with some good solid ab crunches.

Remember that you need to do 25 reps for each of these sets without resting in between.

Next you are going to want to take a break for a couple minutes. It might be a good time to hit the water bottle or the drinking fountain to keep yourself hydrated.

Repeat the process listed above four times in order to complete the entire workout. You’re going to want to stick to this routine for a period of around two weeks, and then you should be sufficiently motivated enough to move on to the next phase which is going to consist of 50 reps each.

50 Repetitions Workout

This next phase of the program is going to entail that you keep on the same three-day schedule, but rather than going through the complete circuit four times, you’re only going to proceed through it two times, but your repetitions are going to be pushed up to 50 rather than 25. Don’t bother increasing your weights, but rather keep it the same as what you are doing with the 25 repetitions.

You’re going to want to stick to this 50 rep workout for the same period of time, i.e. two weeks, before moving on to the last phase of the program, which is the 100 reps workout.

100 Repetitions Workout

This is the point where the program really comes into fruition, and is what you’ve been building yourself up to. You’re going to want to stick to the same weights that you were using on the previous two workout regimens, but rather than going for 50 reps like the previous one, you’re going to want to push it up to 100 reps for each of the exercises without taking any breaks in between.

The good news is that you’re only going to have to go through the circuits one time for this part of the program, and you are going to decrease the amount of days that you perform it down to two. So for instance, you might want to only come in and perform this workout on a Tuesday and Friday.

If you successfully made it to this point without taking any breaks between any of the reps, congratulations. You’re only going to have to carry out this 100 rep part of the program for a week, and then you can consider this program as being successfully completed. The next step is going to be to go back and start doing heavier weights with a lower amount of repetitions.

After completing this program, due to the extreme cardiovascular endurance that you’ve been providing yourself with, as well as a substantially improved rate of recovery, you should find yourself being able to make much quicker gains in your muscle building efforts. Take a full week of rest and eating and continue with your standard workout routine.
