In a bid to increase my stamina and particularly my endurance I decided to incorporate some conditioning workouts into the end of my normal routine. It was my aim to really push myself to my limits and achieve a big flush of HGH by the end of my routine, I did this by incorporating a full body workout routine that included bodyweight exercises, kickboxing, plyometrics and circuit training.
You may be wondering why I would push myself so hard when my strength training was already going pretty well. The reason, you should be completely and utterly gassed out after each workout routine. It wasn’t my goal to train to failure because as you probably know you don’t get denser muscle mass in this way. What I wanted to do is just exhaust my heart and lungs, get them going to their limits.
The reason I wanted to do this was to boost the amount of HGH my body produced after each full body workout routine, HGH stands for Human Growth Hormone. HGH is great because it helps you keep muscle mass while actually burning fat. You may be aware that some athletes in a bid to give themselves an advantage over others use illegal HGH supplements to boost their physical abilities. The fact is though that your body will naturally produce HGH in larger quantities than normal if you workout intensely.
I find that intense cardio is the best way to get my HGH levels boosted. Three days a week I will undergo some high intensity interval training just as I normally do. It is just my aim to boost the fat burning capability of my body by (after I have finished my strength training) working out with another intense routine.
There is also the fact that I have enjoyed strength and endurance conditioning workouts for some time anyway. I’m not lying when I say I enjoy them either. It may be both mentally and physically exhausting, but it makes you feel stronger for accomplishing it. You learn what you can do when you are focused enough, you really get an idea of your limits and they are often a lot higher than you thought.
For my conditioning workouts I aim to use compound exercises that really push my body as a whole. This is the best way to get your heart pumping and your lungs straining. The HGH levels in your system will go up and you will get a really great sweat on. Keep all of these points in mind when creating a full body workout routine of your own that focuses on your endurance and using conditioning workouts to really push you to your limits.
