If only there were a miraculous
exercise pill that magically put the body into physical action,
then fitting all of life’s responsibilities would be simplified.
How can one manage a family, a full-time career, keep the house
tidy and still find the time to work-out every day?
Obviously, time management is fundamental.
Even more importantly, a commitment to fitness is critical.
To ensure that you do not miss too many days of exercise, use
the following strategies to make time for exercise:
• Intensify
the weight. By hastening the speed at which you lift weights,
you can do more than complete your strength training program.
The accelerated weigh lifting regimen calls for more succinct
rest periods between sets. The underlying benefit is not limited
to finishing your work-out but more calories can be expended
in a shorter period of time.
Remember to follow the appropriate form. Alternatively,
if pounding through weights sounds unappealing, lift heavier
ones and less repetition. Not to mention, the fitness time saver
will enhance more muscle. In actuality, if you regularly perform
15 repetitions at 10 pounds then do 12 pounds with up to 10
repetitions.
• Crank
it up. During days packed with innumerous chores and tasks,
opt for an intensified workout. For individuals who weigh between
135 to 150 pounds, an atypical pace on the treadmill at 3.5
miles per hour in a span of 30 minutes expends between 120 and
130 calories. To boost the caloric burn, accelerate your speed
to 4.0 miles and hour. It will increase the caloric burn up
to 185 calories.
• Mix it
up. Remember all exercise need not be executed in a single session.
Break it up throughout the day. Three 10-minute intervals of
exercise a day is just as effective.
