When You're Open Minded, Lunges are Awesome

For years, and especially when I had my gym, I have watched people, usually guys, struggle with working lower body.  In they would come, dragging their heels.  Over to the leg press to load up the exact same weight as always, to do the exact same rep count, for 3 sets of 10, as always.  No cadence change, no failure, no forced reps, no NOTHING. 

Then over to the dumbbell rack to grab the same dumbbells, to lunge the entire length of my gym, as always.  No weight change, no variation ever, no NOTHING.

Subsequently, no fun, no results, no NOTHING.

The only good thing was that the guy now could rationalize that he worked hard, and needed his legs for daily life.  He didn't want to "get too sore" and therefore wouldn't come back for another lower body workout for 15-20 days.
Sound like you?  Be honest.

What do a piece of rubber, a piece of suspended chain, and a piece of slippery flooring have in common? If I told you that you can have a near complete lower body workout with them, like you probably have never thought of, would you believe me?

Watch the video, and get ready to watch a lot more!!!!!
