Most workout programs, in my opinion, are examples of cardio
body building and are wrongly based on bodybuilder isolation

This is NOT the path to optimum fitness excellence!
The cardio body building combination is actually the biggest
training mistake you can make.
Now before you get angry...
There is absolutely nothing wrong with training like a
Bodybuilder or Marathoner... especially if you are a Bodybuilder
or Marathoner.
I am just proposing that the training philosophies of
Bodybuilders and Marathoners are not the path to an optimum
level of fitness where all of the physical skills of
cardiorespiratory endurance, strength, flexibility, power,
speed, coordination, agility, balance, accuracy and toughness
are improved... Whether you

adhere to the philosophy of each
group alone or in combination.
I know this goes against most physical training protocols used
in commercial gyms around the world that adhere to the cardio
body building combination as the training methods of choice.
It is easy to see how these training protocols came to be
combined...
In an attempt to improve fitness on a more general level for the
non-professional fitness enthusiast, gyms and health clubs
throughout the world have prescribed the typical cardio body
building program of isolated movement strength training and
extended aerobic training sessions.
The belief was that if isolated movement weight training is
effective for Bodybuilders, and extended aerobic sessions are
effective for Marathoners, that a combination of the two
training methods would give the general

best of both worlds.
The fact is, Bodybuilding training methods are more concerned
with muscle growth than muscular strength, power and
endurance... and both of these training methods almost
completely ignore the other physical abilities like
coordination, agility, balance, accuracy and flexibility.
It is no wonder why millions of people participating in cardio
body building inspired fitness programs fail to meet their
over-all fitness goals... They are making a big training mistake.
On a personal Note...
I am guilty of training in the cardio body building fashion in
my younger years in preparation for wrestling season.
I would lift weights using isolation exercises and run long
distances to increase aerobic capacity.
I quickly learned in the first week of practice

that the
inflated muscles and aerobic capacity that I gained through
cardio body building training did little or nothing to provide
the fitness level needed for my chosen sport.
Oh well, there is nothing I can do about that now... but there
is something that YOU can do to improve your physical training
in preparation for sport, work, life.
Reflect on your current workout program...
If your current workout program looks like the cardio body
building protocol described above... don't despair.
Any exercise is better than none, so you have not completely
wasted your time.
In fact... the isolated movement strength training has given you
some degree of strength, and the aerobic exercise is an
essential base of fitness.
However, to improve your physical training and optimize your
performance

you must be prepared to radically change the methods
you use in pursuit of strength, conditioning and fitness
excellence.
Be honest with yourself... are you getting the most out of your
current cardio body building physical training program?
Are the exercises and methods you are using best suited to
improve over-all fitness... or do they only focus on muscular
size and cardiorespiratory endurance?
Ask yourself this question...
Is your current physical fitness training program based on the
acceptable and deliberate compromise of competence and ability
to perform in ALL the areas of cardiorespiratory endurance,
strength, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, agility,
balance, accuracy and toughness to produce optimum performance
results under the greatest amount of circumstances?
If not, it is

If your goal of physical training is to inflate your muscles and
perform monotonous, single intensity aerobic exercise for
extended periods of time... do nothing.
If your goal of physical training is to become a better human
being suited to successfully overcome the random challenges of
sport, work and life... It is time to change your physical
fitness training program to one not based on the cardio body
building fallacy.
