The next step is to pair the bench press with a stability-based pushing motion such as a stability ball push-up. If you’re in the health club and you think pushing, one exercise that comes to mind is the bench press (especially for men on Mondays, known as National Chest Day). Let’s take the motion of pushing as an example. It is different from the traditional strength superset variation where the exerciser uses two opposing movements (e.g., dumbbell chest press and cable row).īy combining the strength-based exercise with the stability-based variation, the prime movers are taxed first and then the stabilizers of the same area are further targeted with a slow tempo version of the same motion.

This style of workout consists of a superset of similar motions performed with a strength and stability exercise variation executed one right after the other. Here’s how it works: Once you’ve performed an active warm-up consisting of foam rolling, active stretching and some core activation work, you are ready for the “meat and potatoes” of a strength endurance workout.

Want to get the heart rate up and improve endurance? Need to build up lean tissue? Is getting a good sweat going your indicator of a great workout? Strength Endurance is the phase of training that can do it all…at the same time. After all, it's a huge component of the online NASM personal training course. Strength endurance training is one of the most underused formats of conditioning and one that can achieve multiple goals at the same time.
