More gain, no pain

f you are like most adults, especially if you played high impact sports when you were younger, you probably had some kind of injury which makes you reluctant to exercise and are a bit more sedentary than you would really want to be.

Maximize your training and stick to your New Year’s resolution

To maximise your time and intensity, you should also consider supersets. That means that you don’t really get any rest time; after one set of an exercise you alternate with a set of a different exercise, for example, working opposite muscle groups. Not only do you gain time, but you keep your heart rate elevated.
