Shortcuts: Do they work?

Hey,

I've seen a lot of so-called "shortcuts" that promise quick results with minimal efforts, but most of them have turned out to be nothing but a waste of time...

The idea of working out less and getting more out of it has undeniable appeal. After all, who wouldn't want to spend less time sweating and straining and more time ...well, doing more of whatever it is you like to do?

 Between eating right and fitting in exercise, there are a few shortcuts you can take when being perfect seems unthinkable. Best of all, none of these shortcuts skimp out on health. Here's a look at the standard gold rules of a healthy lifestyle and the shortcuts that go with them!

Can you get this body in a short time?

Train efficiently

I watch people train and so much of it is wasted effort. Never spend more than 52 minutes in the gym. This is the optimum time to make the biggest gains. Any longer and it’s wasted time.

People constantly talk or text between sets. You are there to train, not to make friends. That’s what clubs and bars are for.

Go Walking

 

Even though you’re busy don’t neglect your exercise program. Studies have shown that walking 45 minutes a day can boost your immune system.

Crack an egg for breakfast.

Go for a little extra protein first thing in the day and your brain will stave off the munchies later on, according to the latest findings from the University of Missouri-Columbia. Former breakfast skippers who ate a morning meal with a side of yogurt showed fewer feed-me brain impulses and felt fuller.

Turn every daily activity into exercise

One of the keys to faster fitness is turning the things you already do regularly into opportunities for exercise. Daily activities such as walking the dog, playing with your kids, and doing housework have built-in calorie-burning potential just waiting to be discovered.Incorporating physical activity into your daily life or intensifying what you already do can be as effective, or even more so, than an exercise routine.
