Get the Most Out of Your Workout

Get the Most Out of Your Workout

Summer is well on its way, you’re starting a 28-day Zing Slim Tea program and you’re probably starting to think about ramping up your workouts in preparation for the warmer weather. It’s also fair to say that when you’re putting in the hours at the gym, you want to know that you’ll be reaping the benefits, right? Well read on to learn how to get the most out of your workout.

1) Are you sore the morning after?

Nothing is more satisfying than finishing a big legs session and waking up the next morning a little worse for wear. Although you shouldn’t feel serious burn every day of the week (give yourself a day to recover between bigger weights sessions), a bit of muscle soreness is a definite sign you’re doing it right.

2) Are you chatting easily while you workout?

Heading out for a Saturday morning run with your bestie is a great way to motivate yourself and catch up, however if you’re holding a conversation and not getting a little out of breath then you might want to up the ante. Consider throwing some high-intensity intervals into your weekend jog to build cardiovascular fitness and get the blood pumping.

3) Are you in a workout rut?

You know the drill… you grab your bag and your towel, pull on your trainers and proceed to go through the motions. Five minute warm up, throw a few weights around and then hit the cross-trainer to finish things off. If this sounds like you, it might be time to shake things up. In order to get results, you need to push your muscles by working them in constantly different directions. We recommend switching things up every 4-6 weeks to get the most out of your workouts.
