Stay hydrated

Maximize your gym time by minimizing rest between exercises.
Strapped for time in the gym? Cut down your rest intervals. By taking minimal rest, you’re automatically upping the intensity of your workout and keeping your heart rate elevated throughout your weightlifting or interval training session.

Master foam rolling, and do it often.
Foam rolling is another excellent way to improve your range of motion, so you can get more out of every squat, lunge, and push-up.

Embrace strength training.
If you’ve steered clear of the weight room in the past, now’s the time to get familiar with strength training.

Involve your kids
If you’re a busy mum like me, I know how difficult it can be to get your kids to sit still while you train — this is why my workouts are all 30 minutes or LESS!

Allow time for recovery
If you lead a busy lifestyle, adding more exercise may not be the best option to achieve your goals. If you are starting out, try to get in at least two workouts each week and use the other days to focus on moving when you CAN, and getting enough rest to recover from your workouts.

Set goals
Consider your goals and be realistic about how often you need to work out to achieve them — is it really worth getting less sleep just because you think squeezing in an extra workout will help you hit them faster?
