The Best Exercise

Dear Health & Fitness Enthusiasts,

This is a commonly asked question in discussion forums: what is the best exercise for fat loss? What is the best workout for strength and size gain? etc.

The answer i always give is "it depends on your goals".

Other than your goals, you also have to look at other factors that would determine the best program for you:
-Motor skills
-Injury/surgical history
-Training/athletic background
-Age
-Gender
-Time available
-Energy available
-Equipment available
etc.

There is really no best. What is best for you may not be best for me. What is best for me may not be best for you. If it is, anybody can just copy a world champion's training program and become a world champion.

But no, program design is an art. Much of it is trial and error. A lot of monitoring has to be done daily to determine the effectiveness of the training program.

In discussion forums where very little detail is revealed, there is no way a perfect program can be crafted. So those of you who are still wondering what is the best program for you:
-Stop wondering, start designing your own program and monitor it. Or
-Hire a personal trainer who has more experience designing a program and monitoring it.
