Maximize Your Fitness with Expert Tips

Not everyone loves to spend hours working out.

That’s why it’s important to know how to maximize exercises that will provide the most “bang for your time,” to borrow and change up a common expression.

Worthington, a fitness consultant, recommends incorporating compound movements into your workouts to maximize efficiency and results.

“For example, a squat with a shoulder press is a combination of a squat (push) and a shoulder press (push), hitting multiple muscle groups in one movement. Similarly, a deadlift is a hinge pattern that works the glutes, hamstrings, and lower back all at once,” he adds.

Group exercises strategically

When it comes to structuring your workout, Worthington advises grouping exercises together strategically to optimize your time in the gym. “Workouts should be structured in a format that best utilizes the energy system you are targeting,” he explains. This means pairing exercises that complement each other and allow for maximum effort without burning out too quickly.

For example, pairing a lower body exercise like a squat with an upper body exercise like a push-up allows one muscle group to recover while the other is working, maximizing your time and effort in the gym.

With these three tips in mind, you can take your fitness routine to the next level and see results faster than ever. Remember, consistency is key, so stick to your plan and watch as your hard work pays off in the form of a stronger, fitter, and healthier you.
