I've been really busy lately and like most people, I've been finding trouble getting in a good workout at the gym with the short amount of time I have. So instead of cutting out my daily trip to the gym, I spent some time during my lunch break at work searching for time saving ideas. I wanted to look for some ways that I can spend less time at the gym, while still getting a satisfying workout.
Shortly after browsing fitness blogs, a cute blond caught my eye, and I noticed she posted 6 great tips on how to save time at the gym.
Here's the first 3 Tips, out of respect, I'm making you check out her blog to see Tips 4 - 6
1. Cut rest time. Resting for 3 minutes between sets is bad for a couple of reasons. First, this time allows for your muscles to get all energy back and it will be harder to exhaust them so they give you muscle building results. Also the more rest, the lower your heart rate and the less calories you burn. Try keeping rest 30 seconds.
2. Back to back exercises. Like the previous blog talked about, supersets are great to give your muscles a workout and you in a short amount of time. Do a set of one exercise and go directly without rest into another one.
3. Limit 8 exercises. You do not have to do every move you know to get a great workout. Actually, doing less exercises allows you to concentrate on the move and improve weight, intensity, etc to get you toned and ripped.
