Find the answer to this million dollar question from renowned personal trainer Nitin Chhoda Read full post here. (c) Super Sets For Super Shaping and Fat LossLet's face it. I love feeling fit and strong. And SuperSets are a powerful part of my workout routine for body shaping and - I'm finding - fat loss! There's nothing like lithe strength (yes these two can go together!) to make you energetic and shapely at the same time. And the feeling of empowerment that comes with physical strength is not to be discounted. And I love showing women the tools to get you there. I know that this technique - Supersets - can "deliver" because since implementing, my body fat has noticeably diminished while my strength has gone UP and my weight has stayed relatively the same - all indicators of optimizing body composition. In a recent issue of my FitDream Ezine and accompanying videos, I gave some specific pointers about how to play safe with weights by integrating rehabilitative techniques. Now, I'm happy to share more about my own personal weight training workouts and, how easy they are to put together, and the positive results I've experienced. First, a little history. Several years ago, I worked out with weights pretty regularly. Then there was a period of a few years when I focused on other avenues to fitness that didn't require the use of weights. This enabled me to stay strong, flexible, and slim. But frankly, I missed the feel of the weights. Also, I wanted to build up some sports specific strength. While scuba diving last summer, I noticed those scuba tanks were a little more difficult to schlep around than I remembered. By the end of our two week trip, I had built up some good strength from heaving tanks into the truck - and it felt good! AND I wanted to be sure to keep that strength for our next upcoming trip. So, when I returned from our trip in August, I pulled out my dumbells and resumed my favorite, most time-efficient and results-delivering type of weight workout: Supersets. How Does Supersets Work? Supersetting is easy to organize. Here's how I do it. 1) I select 6 exercises : 3 that focus on upper body, 3 that focus on lower body 2) I make sure that all exercises selected are compound in nature: that means they are not isolated muscle exercises. So far so good! Now, here is the next part: I combine 1 upper body compound exercise and one lower body compound exercise for each Superset. This will deliver up a total of 3 Supersets made up from the 6 different exercises. Are you with me? Let me clarify with an example: Upper Body Compound: Push Ups Lower Body Compound: Split Squat with Dumbbells The Superset unfolds like this: I? do one set of pushups, immediately followed by one set of Split Squat with Dumbbells. Rest 20-30 seconds, and repeat. Twice. One Superset, done! Then, I proceed to a second combination. Then a third. Including my warmup, this is a 20 minute, total strength, body shaping, and renewal workout! I then follow this with my Interval training, and the whole darn thing is done in less that 40 minutes. How do you like them apples? Supersetting is something to be approached with excellent warm up, moderate weights as you get going, and full attention to proper exercise form. I was pleased and surprised at how rapidly I was able to increase the weights I was using, which told me I was building good muscle. And the fact that my strength went up while my weight stayed the same and my waist measurement went down, tells me that I was making optimal shifts in body composition. And I'm counting on those scuba tanks being easier to schlep around come my next dive trip! ?'??
