There are so many ways to push exercise to the max to get optimal performance results if you’re super hardcore! For more ‘run of the mill’ people, let’s try more mainstream ideas.
-Depending on which exercise magazines you read, the use of stability balls or Bosu equipment (forcing your muscles to contract to keep you off balanced) can increase your results faster because you’re off -setting your results faster because your offsetting your balance, resulting in more use of your core muscle group.
-Use a food diary to track your calories. More calories used vs. more calories ingested=weight loss.
-Utilize multi-movement moves when possible. An example of this would be a squat with a biceps curl on the way up, or a lunge with a shoulder raise…
-If you can’t get to the gym or for a walk, then, walk your dog or play with your kids. Have fun. Be creative and push yourself when you can to notice optimal results.
