n today’s world, people are quick to try the latest fad workout or diet pill. Usually, they are discouraged with the results they get. Over time, the effectiveness of these fads wears off if they even worked at all. The best way to get lasting effects and build a solid foundation for a lifetime of wellness is getting back to basics.
What exactly does getting back to basics mean? Wellness and fitness are simple concepts when broken down, but that does not equate to being easy. This is where many people are afraid to do some hard work and supply their bodies with the nutrition they need. The back to basics concept has three main parts: Interval cardiovascular training, strength training with compound exercises, and providing the body with natural, organic sources of fuel with minimal supplementation use.
What is interval training? Interval training is a different way of doing cardiovascular exercise. It involves short bursts of high intensity periods followed by longer intervals of lower intensity training. Pick any cardiovascular exercise (jogging, biking, elliptical machine). Cycling the intensity with high and low periods works the body harder than keeping the intensity the same throughout the workout. Steady state workouts just do not have the same cardiovascular building and fat burning capabilities as interval training.
The philosophy to strength training is simple. If the exercise uses more muscle groups, it is probably better than one that uses less muscle groups. Also, if you use more weight with an exercise, it is most likely a better than an exercise that uses less weight. This may seem overly simple or even an obtuse way of looking at training, but usually the philosophy holds true. What this means is that strength exercises that use many muscle groups (Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Press, Standing Press) are much more effective in building a strong, health body than the isolation of one muscle group. A perfect example of this is to spend your energy doing squats rather than doing leg extensions.
Nutrition can be summed up in two words: real food. Everything you eat should be organic and not processed. This would take care of many health issues our country is facing. Real organic food is what the body recognizes as nourishment and can utilize. If your diet consisted of organic meat and organic fruits and vegetables, you would never have to count another calorie or calculate the percentage of carbohydrates vs. protein. Your body would take care of itself. Of course, most people don’t eat this way. A good compliment to a mostly healthy, organic diet would be to supplement with a whole food vitamin. The body can process whole food vitamins rather than synthetic vitamins.
As you can see, the back to basics principles may seem over simplified. But if you take these principles to heart, you will see a dramatic increase in your vitality and health. But as I’ve warned, just because they are simple, does not mean they are easy. Good luck in your lifetime journey of wellness.
