From people who go in for sports and are keen on a healthy lifestyle, more and more often you can hear the strange word "workout". What does it mean: a regular training session or a whole course in the world of sports? Both.
Workout like a workout
The word workout came to us from English, and you can be sure that in the near future it will appear even in official dictionaries, such workout is loved by sports people. Literally translated, workout means workout. Initially, the word meant a completely ordinary fitness exercise in a gym, where there are exercise machines and dumbbells. But the word workout has gained such popularity in Russia and in the world not at all due to its direct meaning. There are two more concepts associated with it: street workout and ghetto workout. Their meanings are pretty close, this is street workout, which is done outside of the "mainstream" machines, not obeying any fitness system. Since the training is street, it uses its own weight, various crossbars, parallel bars, and in general everything that can be found on the street, including structural elements at public transport stops (not in Russia). We can say that a workout is a yard fitness workout. Also, this word is used in the meaning of "home workout", when instead of exercise machines, all kinds of objects available at home are used. For example, don't you have a floor chin bar from a prone position? Take two chairs and place a mop on them.
In Russia, old playgrounds with horizontal bars, metal ladders, and beams have gained particular popularity as a place for workouts.
Workout like movement
In our country, the word "workout" (sometimes they write "workout", but this is not entirely true) quickly acquired a special meaning. So they began to call not so much the training itself as the lifestyle and the course of free fitness. The workout philosophy was developed in 2009 by members of the One More Day fitness community.
The goal of the fitness course is to show people that it is easy to be strong and healthy, for this you do not need to spend money on clubs and exercise equipment. You can train everywhere, everyone can do it.
The workout system is based on three principles. First principle: listen to your body and choose the best for it. Different workouts and exercises are suitable for everyone, so to choose what works best for you, just pay attention to how you feel about the workout. The founders of the workout also talk about the fact that you can give up the very idea of counting sets and reps, and just keep doing the exercise until you notice that you are working to the limit of your strength. This is what results and progress mean. Second principle: use your imagination. Come up with new exercises! Use any furnishings for them. The body quickly gets used to the monotonous load, so don't give it a chance to adjust. The third principle: the main thing is not how much, but how. Do each set correctly and with concentration, this is much more important than the number of repetitions. These are the tactics that will make you stronger.
