Save your Strength; Cramming cardio and weights into 1 session builds overall fitness, but watch the clock. Cardio can snap strength gains when done longer than 20 minutes-before or after your weight train. Try adding cardio on a separate day from performing your weight training.

Get Off the Ball! Studies have shown that individuals had greater strength gains in their Core, when performing Dumb Bell Shoulder or Bench Presses on a Flat Bench. As opposed to, performing the same exercises on a Stability Ball. Reason: You will be able to use heavier weights on a bench, which will force your Core to work harder!

Pick the Right Play List! The wrong choice of workout music could put a downer on your performance. Researchers found the blood vessels of exercisers subjected to music they didn’t like constricted only 6% in just 30 minutes reducing overall aerobic capacity by more than 10%. When exercisers listened to favorable music their blood vessels expanded 26% bringing in a 34% performance boost.

Here’s Some of My Top Play List Songs:

1. One Republic: Good Life
2. Joan Jett: Bad Reputation
3. Ramones: Be Sedated
4. Notorious B.I.G.: Juicy
5. Foo Fighters: My Hero

It’s the Weekend…So, Stay in Bed for Your Workout! Reason: The bed actually can be an effective place to perform both cardiovascular and strength protocols. Just like Balance Disc or Bosu Ball, the bed can assist in development of proprioception, which is basically the feedback loop between the body and the brain. So, simply perform 2 to 3 Sets of as many PUSH-UPS, PLANKS and SIDE-PLANKS as you can do in 60 Seconds!
