i had the opportunity this past weekend to spend some time at a private gym observing a master trainer with his client. the 3 room gym was filled with sleek black or silver exercise machines. each room had a purpose-one for serious weight lifting, one for the lower body and one for upper body and cardio. a machine to work out every part of the body. most had seats and many had seats with backrests. so what did the trainer have his client do for 30 minutes? not anything that involved a machine. he had his client do 3 sets, about 10 reps each of 5 different exercises (such as some of my 10 best) using dumb bells, the vipr* and body weight movements. the client never sat down until the very end when the workout was over.
does this tell you anything? it should.
*the vipr is a relatively new piece of exercise equipment that comes in different weights that looks like a large tube with various handles cut out of it. many types of movements can be done by holding it in various positions.
