Maximize Your Workouts in 4 Simple Steps
Do you have only 30 minutes to exercise? Want to get the most out of your workouts? No problem! You don’t have to spend long hours at the gym to reach your goals. Proper planning is the key to an effective workout. Train, eat, sleep, and repeat. It’s that simple. Here are some simple tips to supercharge your workouts
Train at High Intensity
Whether you’re doing push-ups or running on the treadmill, keep the intensity high. Thousands of studies suggest that high intensity training leads to greater muscle and strength gains. Instead of putting more weight on the bar, increase workout intensity. Squeeze every muscle and train it to failure. Replace cardio with HIIT to boost your metabolism and torch fat.
Do Compound Exercises
Lunges, squats, deadlifts, military presses, pull-ups and other compound moves engage nearly every muscle in your body. Research shows that multi-joint exercises increase testosterone and growth hormone levels, which helps create an anabolic environment. Isolation movements have their role, but compound exercises are more effective for building muscle and strength.
Have a Plan
Many people go to the gym without having a plan. They enter the weight room, thinking about what workouts to do next. Just like everything else, fitness requires planning. Before hitting the gym, decide what muscles you’re going to train, what exercises you’ll do, and how many sets you’ll complete. Keep a fitness log to track your results. Check your progress once every few weeks and adjust your workouts accordingly. It might help to chose from this database of workouts.
Keep Your Workouts Varied
Try new workouts to keep your body guessing. If you do the same workouts over and over again, you’ll hit a plateau. Shock your muscles into growth by changing the number of sets, adding new moves, and lifting heavier weights. For example, if you usually work with dumbbells, use the barbell more often. Do five sets instead of four. Decrease the number of reps, but put more plates on the bar.

JB. Sapphire is a highly skilled and professional therapist with a warm and friendly demeanor. She possesses extensive knowledge and has a strong reputation for providing safe and reliable care. I've undergone several treatments with her, including a recent Morpheus8 procedure, and I can't praise her enough! So far I had 2 sessions with Sapphire. She is a wonderful consultant. Friendly and professional. Very knowledgeable in the work she does.Definitely I would recommend Sapphire. I have booked more treatments with her. First time explained very well in detail by Shaymma would definitely recommend. First time for me to have fat freezing done . I recently had a treatment in Birmingham with Sandra. Sandra was fabulous and very professional, she talked me through my facial and answered all questions i had. The clinic was very clean with high standards, very friendly and welcoming. I would not hesitate recommending this VIVO Clinic.
Great value, great consultants and very professional. I can't speak highly enough of the service and professionalism I received today from Rebecca. The entire experience, from the moment I walked in, was fantastic.Rebecca was friendly and efficient, and was not only knowledgeable but also took the time to address all my questions and concerns. I was treated by Tini, There was plenty of information she was amazing, she was so knowledgable and very easy to talk to , I was so relaxed I really enjoyed my time there . I even had a discount on the last min treatment ( vaginal tightening ) Highly recommend to anyone. Thank you Vivo
