When I was younger I used to spend hours in the gym….these days I barely have enough time to scratch myself let alone spend an hour at my local gym.
Surfing the web I came across some Smart Exercise tips…I clipped them and added them to this post for future reference for me to implement into my own training program.
Smart Exercise: “Smart” exercise is exercise that
provides the maximum amount of benefit in the least amount of time.
It’s short, sweet, and usually fairly intense but it’ll burn a ton of
fat and tone up your body quickly. |
Perform 30-40 minutes of moderate-intensity cardiovascular exercise
OR 7-20 minutes of high-intensity
cardio 2 or 3 times per week. |
Good cardio exercises include running, bike riding, stair-climbing,
elliptical running, and anything else that allows you to keep
your heart rate up for an extended period of time. |
Perform a light 10-minute warm up (i.e. jog or bike) to loosen up
your muscles and joints before lifting weights. |
Frequently “mix up” your strength workouts to keep your
body from adapting. Change the exercises you perform, as well as the
set/rep schemes, time between sets, and the intensity of your sets.
|
If you prefer – or can only do – low-intensity cardio (like walking)
you must do more: at least 40-60 minutes 4 times per week. |
