It is training sessions of maximum intensity in which they combine different types of aerobic exercises with other anaerobic. This mixture is what you get proper muscular work, since they encourage you to keep toned and active, while we performed a cardiac workout that will help us to consume more calories and eliminate fat is left over.

The Workout Insanity does is start working the body part through specific exercises for this area, to keep order and keep the body active and worked. The secret is in the high-intensity exercise. It is true that the burden will rise is not high, because it is our own body, but being fast routines and concentrated in the area, the results are very good.

The sessions focus on repetitions in a row and quick exercises that are intertwined with each other very nearly as rest periods between sets are too short. Thus what we get is to make a complete aerobic exercise while we are working the muscles of the body.

Although it is true that there are various levels to people who have not done any sport or others that are more showers in the matter. Either way, we consider this practice appropriate for people who already have a base as far as body work through the exercise is concerned, and that because of the rapidity of resistance exercise and requires that each session is necessary and we have some prior practice.

The Pectoral Muscle Grateful But Easy To Lose


The pectoral muscle is one of the most revered in bodybuilding. It is a large muscle that will soon appreciate the volume to start working, but we also see as pectoral deflates in a while we stopped train.

If you frequently go to the gym or do sports, but do not specifically tone or chest can keep it, but if we stop sports activities for several days the pectoral muscle is one of the most notable aspect in which the loss of muscle mass because few tasks of everyday life need this muscle.

An easy and simple blanket if we train is to stop the famous push-ups. With 2-3 sets of push-ups a day for 10-20 repetitions pectoral can keep active and avoid losing the work that we have gained chest. This will achieve miracles but not much slower if the loss of muscle mass.

The friendly face of the muscle does not usually work every day is that as we get them in gym noticed a great improvement, but also when we leave that specific work the muscle returns to its origins and loose ballast. Only with a day job can get the chest is maintained as we, with volume and being felt in the upper body.

• Genetics: Genetic predisposition our muscles can be composed of different fiber types and in different proportions, there are some races easier to develop than others and strengths, for example, Jamaicans for having as many fast twitch fibers can be excellent sprinters.

State of the spine: if we have a column with lordosis or if you have herniated disc. It is clear that we are limited to make certain efforts and this will influence the development of strength. Must take this into account because it can be compensated or the condition of the spine in order to neutralize this limiting strength.

State of the stabilizing muscles and agonists: it is clear that if we develop the strength in the back to make such a rowing motion, if we have strong muscles in the arms we can not use a lot of overhead and this will influence the development of strength. So, to keep in mind: all muscles should be strengthened together to get a better overall result and / or specific.

State of tendons and ligaments: a body is not prepared to train with loads and use much strength can become injured tendons, ligaments, joints and even, as these are what allow and accompany the growth of muscles and their activity is necessary for the development of strength. The best thing to remember is to train progressively strength to reach a point where we can maximize the effort with less risk.

Execution of movement: if technique is incorrect and speed is not adequate, we are also conditioning the development of strength.

Here are some factors to consider when looking for a development of strength to subsequently achieve the results you want in any sport or training. A combination of factors may limit the development of the strength and must be taken into account to neutralize them in time without interrupting the scope of objectives.
