10 easy ways to get more out of your workout

10 easy ways to get more out of your workout

1

Do your stomach exercises before breakfast - as this will maximise localised fat burning and allow your six pack to grow faster.

Dumbbells
 
Reps
 
Lats
 
Muscles!
 
Jogging
 

2

Train in the morning - this stimulates the production of growth hormone and testosterone which then stimulates the growth of your muscles for the rest of the day
3

Eat small meals more often - six large healthy snacks is much better than breakfast, lunch and dinner - spreading your food allows more muscle growth and there is less need to store fat.

4 Plan your daily diet using pen and paper. This will mean you get enough of what you need when you need it.
5 Working out means you need much more protein than normal - ensure that your meals contain roughly 33% protein-rich foods such as chicken, turkey, tuna and other fish and low-fat dairy. You can also supplement with protein (day and night)
6 Vegetable fats are healthy and give you energy - animal fats are fattening, so avoid them.
7 Train a muscle group heavily for short periods - start with the exercise which trains the most muscle in that group, then do additional exercises.
8 Train for shorter periods more often - your body can only build so much muscle tissue per day, so there is no point in overdoing it by living at the gym.
9 Drink lots of carbohydrates during exercise and especially afterwards, to prevent your body burning muscle tissue for energy.
10 Ensure that you get enough amino acids (from protein) straight after working out to ensure that you get enough building blocks for growth.
