How to get your training more efficient

Fitness Tips for Health- Pakistani Pages :

Here are some quick tips on making your training more efficient.

  • Time the rest periods between your sets and your exercises
60 sec for muscle tone and gain
30 sec for muscle endurance and slightly more fat burning
3 + minutes for muscle strength

  • Combine two exercises back to back (super setting)
For Example: Follow a Push up with a Bent over Row ( This is called a Push-Pull super set where by any pushing movement exercise is followed by a pulling movement exercise, It can also be reversed i.e pull-push).

You can also perform an Upper-body with a Lower Body Exercise
Two different exercises for the same muscle group.

  • Writing your session out before hand
This way you know exactly what your going to train, and can set up your exercises to accomplish this.
  • Use big movements
This is starting to move into a more functional way of training.
An example of this would be using a Squat instead of a Seated Leg extension machine....Why?
Because the Squat with good form will work the following muscles ....Thighs-front and rear, Butt, Lower back, Waist, Calves, Upper-back.. To name a few VS the Seated Leg Extension machine it works the Thighs, and maybe your forearms if you are trying to stop yourself from lifting out of the seat. What do you think will benefit your body more, get better results and help you more in life???
Talk to a qualified trainer for more big movement exercises that can benefit your needs and wants.
There are many more ways, these are just a few that when you introduce them to your program, will speed up your session,and therefore lessening your time in the gym so you can go out and enjoy other things.
It also helps with the "I have no time excuse"
