Owner of Steel Gym and AFI-certified Personal Trainer and Fitness Expert Ken Hunt wants to give our readers some helpful exercise tips.
Don’t Skip it.
During resistance-training workouts, jump rope for one minute in between sets of exercises. Then rest for 30 seconds to 1 minute before doing your next set. Doing so can nearly double the calories you burn during a workout.
Pedal to the Metal
Go longer without tiring out and get a better bike workout by keeping your pedal cadence at 80 revolutions per minute or higher. Once you establish that pedal speed, use your gears to maintain that rate as grade or terrain changes. The goal is to get your pedals to turn at roughly the same rate whether your bike speed is a little slower going uphill or faster going downhill.
Never Miss a Workout
On Sunday evening, take a minute to block out on your calendar 30 minutes for exercise at least three times during the coming week. Put it into your Outlook or other scheduling program as if it were an important business meeting, and you’ll be less likely to skip it.
