THE 3 KEYS 🔑TO A PERFECT WORKOUT! --------------- ✅Take an OUTSIDE IN approach to your training. First figure out how much time you have to train and then get as much quality work done as you can within that time frame. It's a great way to simplify the process and get in and out of the gym and on with your life. As I mentioned in a post last week on optimal workout duration, 30-40 minutes of intensive training seems to be a sweet spot for most drug-free trainees. --------------- ✅How can you get a lot of quality work done in just 30-40 minutes? Don't sit on your ass for 2-5 minutes during your rest periods. Instead, maximize every minute of your training! Unless you're training for max strength or power, your best bet is to alternate between non-competitive exercises instead of using straight sets. This allows you to keep rest periods shorter and get more work done in the same amount of time or less. You'll burn more fat and improve conditioning too. For example, alternate between upper and lower body exercises or push and pull exercises or antagonistic/opposing body parts (chest and back, biceps and triceps, quads and hammies, etc.). --------------- ✅You could also use lower-intensity "fillers" during rest periods like mobility drills or prehab/corrective work like hip walks, bird dogs, or band pull-aparts. Since most people skimp on their warmups and cooldowns, fillers ensure you address these overlooked aspects of your training instead of doing nothing. --------------- #WorkoutWednesday #Workout #Exercise #Fitness #BJGaddour #TheDailyBJ #FatLoss #WeightLoss #Shred #PostHolidayShred #InstaFit #Fitspo #Fitspiration #igFit #workoutmotivation #Workouts
