In the world of fitness has technology really advanced that much or did it reach it's peak in the 70's and 80's? In elementary school we spent 15 to 20 minutes each day doing exercises such as the squat - thrust, pull ups, sit ups, push ups and climbing the rope.
With the break out of garage style gyms and small personal training studios, individual and group stlye workouts are mimicking the workouts of the past. Workouts are designed anywhere from 20 to 45 minutes and include a warmup, strength phase that may include doing as many pull ups and sit ups as you can in a specified amount of time and finishing with a cool down stretching period.
If we are able to achieve a quality workout following the same workouts of our youth is it really necessary to continue to build gigantic health clubs with millions of dollars of strength equipment? The answer is up to the indivivual but it certainly opens the door for more people to get a quality workout without spending a fortune on a fitness membership.
