Although anyone
can theoretically exercise, I find that very few people actually exercise
effectively and efficiently. Walking into the gym is a perfect example
of how prevalent this is - I’d say that 95% of the people are actually
doing their exercises incorrectly, and unfortunately they’ll NEVER
get the results they’re looking for that way.
Today there is exercise advice almost everywhere –
from the latest magazine to the person walking beside you on the treadmill.
The problem is, if you REALLY want to see results, then you need to know
when, where and how
to do each exercise, which is what I’m going to stress throughout
the routine.
To start off, here are some basics of the MWP Exercise
Routine:
1. Follow the exercises in the order
that they’re presented - they’re specifically designed so
that you do not have to take a break between sets.
2. Realistically choose your appropriate
fitness level for each exercise (there are 3 levels to choose from - easy,
moderate, and advanced).
3. Concentrate on doing one circuit
until you feel like you can handle more. When you’re ready add in
another entire circuit (meaning do the entire workout again!), just make
sure to keep your abdominal and flying exercises until the end, do not
do these one’s twice!
4. Get familiar with and trust your body ball. This is
(and will be) your best exercise companion – it’s extremely
effective (especially at re-building your weakened core) and it’s
very convenient. Note: use the ball on a carpet or mat at the beginning
if you’re not used to using the body ball – this will make
it less “movable”.
5. Make sure you use the correct form
when performing each exercise. This will not only reduce your chances
of injury, but also increase the efficiency and effectiveness of your
workout. It’s a good idea to practice new exercises in front of
the mirror to make sure everything looks right (compare it to the picture
of me doing the same exercise!). Another tip is to make sure you can feel
each exercise in the right place, for example, if you’re doing the
Tricep Bridge, you want to feel it in your triceps and not your shoulders!
