Workout Tweaks To Aid Weight Loss
Prioritize fun and enjoyment
The moment you stop enjoying your workouts is the moment you will see your success slow down. If you don’t like your exercises, you will find much less motivation to do them in the first place. If you find your regimen becoming stale, try something new and exciting like a HIIT class or a group workout.
Don’t forget to recover
Recovery in all forms is essential for maximizing your fitness. If you don’t recover properly, you may be more prone to injuries which, in turn, will only delay your progress. You should ice or use cryotherapy (if available) to help reduce inflammation and increase circulation. This will speed up the natural recovery process and keep you feeling more rested and stronger. Speaking of rest, it’s also essential for you to get at least seven hours of sleep every night, with eight hours being ideal. Studies have shown that regular good sleep can help active people reduce more body fat than those who are sleep deprived.
Try shorter workouts
Counterintuitively, shorter, more frequent workouts might be more effective than long workouts. This is partly why HIIT classes are so popular. Instead of going to the gym for an hour and a half, wouldn’t it be better to compress all of that work into 30-45 minutes? This will not only take more time out of your day, but it will keep you energized afterwards and motivated to come back again. Even if you aren’t participating in HIIT, there is still reason to break your workout up into 20-minute sessions. Find 20 minutes in the morning and 20 minutes in the afternoon to get your lifts and cardio in, and you might see this new workout split have an effect sooner rather than later.
