Get more out of your Workout

 

Are you consistently working out and training? With the days becoming shorter and our to-do lists getting longer, it may be hard to find the time to get your sweat on. Just because everyday life gets hectic, do not put your health on the back burner. Check out these tips to get more out of your workout!

1.       HIIT. High Intensity Interval Training is a GREAT way to get the most out of your time. It can be applied to many different activities including running and swimming and gives you better results in less time.

2.       Switching it up. If you continuously do the same exercises every day, your body is going to get used to it. Switch it up by learning new exercises or trying something COMPLETELY new. This will leave your body guessing what’s to come next. If needed, incorporate some seasonal activities into your routine.

3.       Food intake. The foods you choose to eat are imperative to your success in the gym. Be sure to fuel up with the proper foods to keep you energized and alert.

4.       At-Home Exercises. If you are having trouble finding time to make it to the gym, try incorporating body weight exercises around the house. Even if you happen to make it to the gym, burn more calories by doing squats while you’re cooking dinner or sit-ups while you watch TV.

5.       Stay Consistent. Everyone has their off days, where you may not push yourself hard enough or you don’t have the right equipment. It’s okay, it happens. What matters is that you stay consistent and do not give up. Even if you do a little, it’s still better than doing nothing.
