Say goodbye to the days of leisurely going about your weightlifting or exercise routine, spending way too much time in the gym wondering where the time went. Today we’re going to regain some recreation time for ourselves to enjoy while still accomplishing our fitness goals.
One of the greatest ways to build lean muscle fast while burning greater calories is to time your breaks in between sets and exercises.
Get in the habit of giving yourself a set amount of rest time in between your sets and reps when working out, regardless of what the workout is. Pick a set amount of time that you will give yourself to rest before moving forward with your routine. By doing this, you will make your workout more efficient, and you will find new ways to challenge yourself. If you maintain this kind of discipline, you’ll be in and out of the gym faster, you’ll be increasing your body’s endurance and stamina, and you will be eliminating distractions and bad habits that negatively affect your workouts.
How many times have you been working out and got distracted by a conversation or a phone call. By adhering to a disciplined, pre-set time for your breaks, you will find yourself blazing through your workouts in a new and more focused manner, challenging your body, and accomplishing your weight gain and muscle building goals even sooner.
Take action!
Start timing your rests between sets when you work out. Give yourself 1 minute or less of rest when you hit the weights and see how your endurance is affected. Get ready to build some stamina and make your time working out more efficient and productive.
Get a stopwatch or any device that has a countdown timer. It doesn’t have to be a stopwatch, it can be a watch with a timer, preferably electronic for convenience- it could even be your iPhone’s stopwatch or countdown function. I like to use a Coleman watch. They are pretty inexpensive and can be found at Target. They have a stopwatch and a countdown timer function.
