The other day I went into work (Personal Training) and saw a book on the counter. The book was called core performance by Mark Verstegen. You can visit his site here:

I’ve been doing this workout game for a lot of years and hate to admit it, but have fallen into the bodybuilder trap. I used to think this was the only way to train. Its not so. I took the book home (I’ll return it tonight!) and gave it a read. For the first time in 15 years of training and doing bodybuilder style workouts, I got excited. It takes a while, but when you hit 30 and things start to get tight, you start to think.
Since I have started doing capoeira, range of motion has come to the for front of my attention. Maybe I should say the lack of range of motion. I’m excited to get into this. I started today with a really easy core style workout:
Warmups followed by:
Alternate dumbell bench presses on a slight incline
Looks like this:

One arm/ one leg dumbell rows, like so.
Lunge position dumbell curls to presses. Like So:

Sounds easy, but I really enjoyed it and got a good sweat on. The best part was how loose I felt after. Instead of tight and immobile, I felt powerful and strong.
The program is called Core Performance, check it out, you’ll thank me.
