Here’s how to spend less time exercising, while achieving quicker, more
noticeable results…
Focus. It sounds obvious, but this crucial requirement for an
effective workout is often overlooked. When you’re lifting weights, focus on
that specific muscle group. Researchers have proven significant increase in
muscle activity when people focused on what they were doing, compared to
thinking about unrelated topics.
Variety. Keep your muscles guessing. Do this by changing up your
routine often. This helps to avoid plateaus and to continuously challenge
your body. Try new exercises at new intensities and new weights.
Fuel. Stay on top of your food and your hydration levels. The best
results are achieve when you’re drinking enough water and eating real,
wholesome foods.
Strategy. The time of day that you workout makes a huge difference in
your results. And no, I’m not going to say that there’s a universal ‘right
time’ to workout. Your job is to figure out when your body is at its best
and to make that the time that you consistently exercise. If you’re not a
morning person, then don’t force yourself to wake up at 5am, try working out
after work instead.
Audience. There’s a benefit to working out in a group setting.
Researchers saw a significant increase in strength and endurance in the
people who had an audience versus those training on their own.
Caffeine. Caffeine has been shown to help amp up workouts. If you
don’t have any medical conditions that would otherwise make moderate
caffeine intake unsafe, then drink a caffeinated beverage one hour prior to
working out.
Music. Check this out: researchers found that personal music
motivated weightlifters to complete two more repetitions on average than
those who were not listening to music. That’s a great reason to listen to
your favorite music while you exercise.
Comfort. Not only will you be happy to put comfortable workout
clothes on, but you will also be able to focus better on your workout,
rather than wondering if your pants will split when you squat.
Professional. If you’re not already one of my valued clients, then
now is the time to become one. Working with a professional ensures that
you’re being challenged and are seeing results. And that’s just smart,
right?
