Once in a while I like to change things around.

You know, get back to a simpler way of life....lifting heavy.

Anyone who knows my workout style knows I lift light, fast, and cover a lot of ground. I always mix in cardio, yoga and biking in the summer.

The other day I tried a workout DVD that had the name "Extreme" in the title. So I thought I'd give it a try. In actuality, it wasn't very extreme and it wasn't very hard. But it was different from my normal exercise style.
It was slow moving, with very heavy weights and stationary. I have to say, I felt it the next day.
Because I'm not used to the "old school" training anymore my body reacted to the workout. My legs felt like jello, and I was stiff. I have to admit, it made me remember how strong I actually am.

That being said, I still enjoy my light, fast moving style of exercise. I like to burn mega calories in the shortest amount of time. But it is still a good idea to mix it up, keep it fresh and get back to basics once in a while.

Give it a try...kick it old school!
