I did a lot of research into various fitness regimens— like weight-lifting workouts. I am an avid cyclist and since my riding is all on road bikes my upper body does not get the workout that my legs and backside receive.
Since I have a martial arts background I realize that the perfect scenario is one where results come quickly and I can then maintain the level of fitness by brief workouts rather than an exhaustive series of presses, and other lifting exercises. I also want to share my workout with others.
Enter Bruce Lee
The martial arts legend, Bruce Lee, did a series of workouts designed for strength. His regimen was low-weight, high repetition. That meant lots of work with dumbbells and mostly free weights rather than machines.
After lots of research, I have designed a system that is giving me massive changes in strength and body sculpting. It is entirely based on lighter weight with a larger count of repetitions increasing to double that weight while lowering the count to sets of thirty repetitions.
I am documenting results carefully and I will be posting some results and pictures. I will follow-up with a book documenting the food I eat regularly, exercises with the bike, dumbbells, hiking, and other recreational activities that have helped me maintain good fitness over many years.
In my book (Get Happy, Write Away) I mentioned that people often join a gym and work out for a short while before they grow tired of it and either give up or get too busy with other things. It's easy to understand because working out is often too much like work. I recommended recreation that provides FUN and FITNESS.
For general health and well-being, that is fine. If you want to work on a specific goal, like the one I have chosen at fifty-nine-years-old, then, something like this plan is perfect. In about a month's time, you will see results and in a couple more months you will be amazed. From then onward, a simple maintenance routine is all you'll need.
