What do you recommend for people whose knees aren’t young anymore?

It’s not meant to be 100 all at once. If you can do 100 reps without rest then you need to increase the weight and challenge yourself.

Good job, but I wouldn’t really say that that was a true 100 reps; you took slight breaks during the process.

Once again we gave this challenge to some of our students and patients. The specific chiropractic center is looking to have the most fit patients and doctors.

I have been changing the way I workout and we have put out a challenge with the doctors of the specific chiropractic center to improve their fitness levels. It is fun to see all the progress so far. I cant wait to implement this challenge. Thanks

That would be perfect adding this challenge one time per week. I don’t recommend doing this every day.

I also do sprint/walk cardio for the majority of my cardio training or use the bike.

Is one more effective than another? Don’t get caught up in that. See how your body responds. That will give you the best answer.

Hi,
Thank you for your post. I appreciate them a lot. But I am a bit confused as to what I should do. I mostly workout 3 times a week. I start with strength training followed by a short period of interval training. The interval training is simple….I go for 6 sprints at full speed each of them lasting about 30 seconds and I take a minute break between the sprints. I do the sprint on my mechanical treadmill ….its tough running on it. Now am thinking of adding your workout too. Can you suggest when I should do this?? I need ideas

Also is this challenge more effective than the sprints that I am doing? how about doing this challenge one day and the remaining two days I do the sprints?

Thank You,
Zak

Suzette, This type of workout will help with muscle growth in your quads if you opt for heavier weight and take slightly longer rest periods. Your still going to experience some growth with a lighter weight, but not as much. This type of workout is more cardiovascular.

Jackie, I would start with 15 pound dumbbells for you. Doing this with the bar is great as well. I’ll have to do your 5 minute power squat blast

Kerry… way to take action! I recommend doing this workout just once per week, twice at the most. Mix it in with other various forms of quick cardio and even long duration cardio. I’ll be posting some more quick cardio workouts soon.

Thanks for all the great feedback.

You Rock! Enjoy the experience,

Scott Tousignant
