The Ideal

Before anything else, welcome to Real Life Fitness!
The purpose of this blog is to be a source of ideas to new training routines.
This routines are not about bodybuilding, nor about losing fat. Sure, if you do follow them and your nutrition is well oriented, your body will burn fat and/or build muscle. However, that is not the fulcrum here.
The routines posted here will be about physical performance as a whole, about the nine aspects of fitness (Strength, Power, Agility, Balance, Flexibility, Local Muscle Endurance, Cardiovascular Endurance, Strength Endurance and Co-ordination). Optimal performance in all of the above should be the main concern of any serious trainee. The "looks" will follow. Improving in those aspects will improve your capacities in your main sport, being it golf, football or even martial arts, or simply transform you in a fitter and more injury-proof "Joe" or "Jane".
The training sessions posted here will be my own training sessions. All the equipment I use is free weights, and a sandbag now and then. I also include some martial arts, gymnastics and yoga. Although I do not have access to them, kettlebells are also a great fitness tool. Machines are not recommended.
I am not a certified fitness instructor. I am just a guy who loves to ascend in his physical capacities, that has tried many different types of training, and that spends much of his time studying all different aspects of fitness.
You may choose to follow my ideas of training, or just look at them as a form of inspiring you to make your own routines.
Be aware that it is always recommended that you consult with a physician before engaging in any type of regular exercise.
