---------------------------------------------- BURN THE FAT INNER CIRCLE FIT-TIP OF THE WEEK Brought to You by: http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com ---------------------------------------------- Get off Your Butt Between Sets To Get More Out Of Your Workouts
Most people choose to sit down between sets of exercises and take long, leisurely rest intervals. Some people take the rest periods to the extreme and have entire conversations about politics, the latest celebrity gossip, and even the weather, all while sitting on their rear ends. Longer rest intervals can definitely be important when your training program goal is maximum strength or power. However, you can make much better use of your time. If burning fat is one of your primary goals, then you may want to keep moving more between sets in order to help increase fat loss. But regardless of your goals, there are many advantages to staying on your feet and moving around between sets. Here are just a few of them: 1. Standing and moving between sets can help improve back health and reduce the risk of back injury. Sitting in a flexed position between sets of Back Squats or Deadlifts, for example, can be tough on the back and may lead to injury. Just being in the forward-flexed, seated position causes temporary changes in spinal disc pressures and this can contribute to a back injury! 2. Performing low intensity calisthenics or even just walking around between sets helps to encourage circulation of the blood. Keeping the blood circulating is beneficial to enhance recovery between sets because your body is able to remove lactic acid from the working muscles and replenish energy stores more effectively. 3. Moving around between sets helps to burn more calories and when fat loss is your goal, every little bit of calorie-burning helps! 4. You may also find that when you move around between sets that you stay mentally engaged and focused on the tasks at hand, which will help you achieve better training sessions. 5. Performing staggered sets is another way to keep moving between sets which can also save you a lot of time. A staggered set is a type of superset where you use the time you would normally rest in between sets to train your small muscle groups such as calves, abdominals or forearms. For example, in between each set of back exercises like rows or pulldowns, you can do a set for your calves or abs. As you can see, there are many benefits of making use of the| time between sets that most people simply waste. So... get off your butt between sets, keep moving more during your entire workout, and see for yourself just how much more efficieny you can get from every minute of your training time Train with purpose, Kyle Battis, Inner Circle Manager Tom Venuto , Inner Circle Founder/CEO http://www.burnthefatinnercircle.com ---------------------------------------------- BURN THE FAT INNER CIRCLE UPDATES ---------------------------------------------- Lots of new stuff in the inner circle... and even more on the way!
