7 Ways To Maximise Your Workouts

September 07, 2017

Are you spending all your time and energy at the gym and not getting the results you expect from all that hard work? We all wish that six packs would magically appear overnight underneath that muffin top, but alas, that’s not going to happen. We have a few ways to get more out of your workouts so you’re that little bit closer to getting those rock hard abs you’ve always dreamed of.

1. Create a playlist

Listening to upbeat music can put you ‘in the zone’ and motivate you through your workout. It also distracts you from noticing your muscles are getting tired.

2. Keep yourself hydrated

Drink regularly throughout the day and your workout. We lose a lot of water by sweating and breathing so keeping hydrated is important. Water also provides energy and oxygen to your body, which will make you work harder.

3. Eat your protein

To build muscles, protein is essential for your diet. There are plenty of ways to get your proteins, whether it be from shakes, meats, beans or nuts for example. It’s also important to eat a healthy, balanced diet (you can allow for a few cheat meals every so often though; hellooo pizza!).

4. Work out with a friend

Keep each other accountable. Working out with a friend can be fun and the time seems to pass quickly. If you’re the competitive type, you can come up with a challenge to see who works harder.

5. Stick to working out for 30-40 minutes

Don’t overwork yourself. Stick to going hard for 30-40 minutes and stop. Long workouts can be ineffective as you’re probably not working as hard because your body is tired and this may compromise your technique.

6. Lift heavier weights

Once you’ve perfected your form, go for the heavier weights. A little tip for knowing that you’re working with the right weights is that you can’t do any more than 10-12 reps in a row for each set.

7. Change up your routine

Doing the same exercises over and over and over again can get a little tedious. Why not write up an exercise plan for each week and pick a different activity/exercise routine each time?

Have you ever wanted to drink more water? Once you remember to drink, I bet you’re good for a few days and then you slowly start going back to your old ways; your tongue is as dry as the Sahara Desert and you’re experiencing that dreaded afternoon splitting headache.

My name is Emily, the founder of Healthish, and I was just like you trying to increase my water intake to feel better day in and out. I tried numerous products in the market but ultimately, I couldn’t find anything. So, I developed a product that was easy enough to follow and encouraged me to drink the water my body desperately needed.

Introducing The Healthish Bottle; a simple yet unique bottle featuring time markings which remind you when to drink during the day. You simply fill it twice a day and voila that’s all the water you need. It’s also durable, chic and the frosted plastic feels soft and luxurious in your hands. Sure, you could write the times on the side of an old milk jug, but trust me, mine works better ;) 95% of buyers surveyed said the bottle increased their water intake. Join the hundreds of thousands of members in the Healthish community as we hydrate together!
