Keeping Excellent Records Is A Key to Maximizing your Power Half Hour Workout
Power Half Hour is based on some of the very same principles that were so important to the success of P90X.
In fact, Power Half Hour was the original extreme home workout. It predated P90X. The results people were seeing with Power Half Hour were just as amazing as what the world came to know with P90X
Power Half Hour, as the name gives away, is a 30 minute workout that emphasizes working different muscle groups on different days while always providing a full body workout. What results with each 30 minute workout building up over 60 days is a ripped great looking new you.
Both workouts also rely heavily on a detailed nutrition plan. As many people who work out regularly know, no workout is any good without eating right. It might even be correctly said that nutrition trumps exercise in maintaining a proper weight.
The Power Half Hour experience is different and some would say superior to P90X because of the 30 minute workout concept. First, people prefer a shorter workout and don’t mind working out hard for shorter durations. Especially if they are getting results.
Second, the science of exercise is now saying working out harder for shorter bursts might be better than a long slow consistent workout. For instance a high intensity 30 minute workout might be better than a moderate pace hour plus workout.
So Power Half Hour has a very bright future as a predecessor to P90X and also because it stands to be very popular with perhaps a wider range of people.
Tony Horton is your trainer for Power Half Hour just as in P90X. One of the aspects that I believe gets too little discussion about what he teaches with Power Half Hour and P90X is his insistence that you keep records of how you are working out with each exercise.
With P90X, writing everything down meant that you had the ability to go back and see where you were weak or strong the last time you did the exercise. More significantly, it gave you a goal for improvement the next time.
If you can go a little longer, a little harder, or one more rep than the last time, you will see improvement build drastically over time.
If you don’t write things down, you won’t know what you did last time and you run the risk of not getting the level of improvement you could have.
Working out is work. Power Half Hour is a whole lot of work.
You want to make it your business to get the best possible return for the effort you given.
