It’s Actually Better To Go Slow When Exercising.

After months of doing the ab-wheel, in spite of the fact that I do see the clear cuts and ripples in my abs, I recently noticed that to take it to the next level, it actually is much better to go slower while using the equipment.

This brings to mind the method of training known as ‘Super-Slow” which is a method of weight training in which the participant performs a strength routine in slow motion, with emphasis on form and control.

Well, I’ve added this pace to doing my pull-ups, chin-ups and chair dips and sincerely longer care for the number or 'reps' but using the proper form and control with moving slowly while training.

Moving slowly while weight training has been widely promoted by Ken Hutchins, a University of Florida researcher who maintains this method can make a superior impact on strength and muscle size, metabolic effect and body fat loss while providing a high-quality aerobic workout

If I may add, since it involves some degree of isometrics in motion, this style of weight training or performing calisthenics, does hold its own for me and I've begun seeing results after implementing the use of moving slowly while training.

That considered, you may want to take a break from your regular pace of working out try the super slow method for variety. It won’t hurt you to do so, and could actually help a lot.

The important thing to remember is that if you are consistent with ANY weight training routine, you will show some muscular strength and endurance improvement.

Just remember, stay fit, stay moving and stay motivated.
