I was just reading a recent article on ACE (American Council on Exercise) website about 3 suggestions to maximize your time in the gym and it jogged some thoughts. Whether or not people have barehand workout gloves amazon, the amount of time wasted at the gym doing nothing is pretty evident. How many of you are guilty of loitering around the fly machine or elliptical trainer waiting for someone to get off of it so you can do your set?  If you were to actually keep track of the amount of time you spend “resting” between sets compared to the amount of time you are actually weight lifting or exercising, I think you’d be astonished.

So one tip to maximize your gym time is to use your warm up and recovery time as a tool.  It’s not just some arbitrary grey time for stretching or catching your breath.  Before your weight lifting routine or set, before those workout gloves even go on, use warm up time to burn some calories and prepare the muscle groups for the work load that’s about to hit.  Jogging on a treadmill is a great cardiovascular warm up and it gets the blood circulating, but it doesn’t do a whole lot for prepping the pecs and shoulders for chest day. Get on the floor and bust out a couple of pushups after your warm up jog or walk.

When you’re done lifting use the recovery time to keep working.  Barehand workout gloves amazon or not, active recovery is crucial to the physiological process for conditioning and building muscle, which in turn helps you burn more body fat.  Let’s say that you are at the gym for legs day.  Instead of just cooling down by resting and stretching, throw in some yoga exercises or even body weight balancing movements.   This way you’re not going from full throttle to a dead stop.

Foundation training is resistance movements that are broken down into 4 major groups, and they are another great way to maximize your gym time regardless of your barehand workout gloves amazon , FitBit or any other exercise equipment.  This includes:

1. Lower-Body Exercises Bilateral such as squats and seated deadlift.
2. Unilateral lower body exercises such as forward or side lunges.
3.  Upper body training like dips, or barbell rows.
4. Core exercises like planks or swiss ball crunch.

Keep your body moving is basically the key to maximize your workout time at the gym.  Be conscious of how much you’re actually NOT moving, because that doesn’t count towards your workout and it certainly won’t help you achieve your fitness goals.
