10 Quick Ways to Improve Your Workouts

You do not need to incorporate all of these tips at once. Try being open-minded and adding in one per month. Follow these 10 tips and work your way to a better body.

1. Organize Your Program In 4-12 Week Blocks

Having your training program written out helps you stay disciplined. You do not have to have every detail of your routine written down, but having it on paper helps you stick to it. You can adjust your routine according to daily rest, stress, and any other variables.

2. Use Foam Rollers

These are an awesome way to warm up because rolling properly primes muscles while improving your flexibility.

3. Jump Before Workouts

Jumping not only trains your core but it activates your entire body. Start conservatively. Try including box jumps into your workouts.

 

4. Throw a Medicine Ball

Your entire body gets to work when you hurl the medicine ball. Chest passes and wall slams are great examples. If you include a few reps of these before workouts it is enough. Limit yourself to two sets.

5. Add Amino Acids During Workouts

During a workout, we tear microscopic fibers in the muscle. Amino acids aid in the repair process and provide energy as your train.

6. Incorporate TRX

Try working on one legged squats or high-rep inverted rows into your routine.

 

7. Front Squatting Instead of Back Squats

Front squats develop range of motion in the thoracic spine that will dramatically increase core strength. By working on your front squat you will see a huge improvement in your back squat over time.

8. Change Your Grips

By switching up your grip for several weeks, you may notice that you seem weaker, but you will see a great improvement in your strength with time.

9. Incorporate Hanging Leg Raises Once a Week

If you are a beginning, pull your knees to your chest. For a more advanced option for abdominal training, keep your legs straight and bring your feet up to the bar keeping your body steady.

 

10. Train Your Weak Points First

If you are aiming to bring out your upper chest, begin your workouts with incline pressing. Even if its an exercise that you know you need to begin incorporating but you dislike, start with it at the beginning of your workouts when you are fresh.
