Working Smart: 4-Easy Ways to Get Fit, Faster!
by Laura Turner
Let’s face it, getting and staying in shape can be a costly investment. And, if you’re not careful, its greatest cost is the one commodity you could use the most of: time (keeping monetary costs in check is another volume, entirely). Yet, even many seasoned exercisers often have difficulty changing their bodies with regular workouts. And worse, many think the
more hours spent training heavily, the better the result. Not true! Often this break-neck pace leads only to fatigue, burnout, and injury.
What most people also may not realize, there are several, easy ways to redistribute your time and create ‘smarter’workouts. These common sense, turbo-chargers cost little or no
money, will help change your body in a positive way, and all without giving up a lot of time.
Here, I’ve given you four simple strategies that can help you turbo charge your workout (and your body), too:
1.) Warm Up and Cool Down Sufficiently. In short: take 10.
Strive to take 10 minutes before heavy exercise to get blood flowing with light aerobic activity (walking, or a series of slow arm and leg circles) to get the large muscle groups moving and prevent injury. At the end of your workout, try to opt for 10 minutes of light stretching, aiming at the major muscle groups: arms, back, chest, and legs. This will help re-absorb lactic acid (metabolic waste that builds up during exercise and can lead to
soreness).
2.) Drink More Water. Just eight-8oz. glasses of water per day will carry away waste and toxins from your body. It will also help keep you cool during exercise and replace the fluids lost
during your workout (you will usually lose 1 liter per 1-hour workout).
