Time saving Tip 5:

Exercise Time Saving Tip 4:
Increase your music tempo! Set a playlist that matches, or better yet, exceeds your heart rate. Around 120-180 beats per minute is a good range. You can see the BPM of a song in your playlist view options in iTunes.

While saying yes can take us down some wonderful roads, there’s also a ton of value in saying “no.” We’re only given a certain amount of hours; do you really want to give yours away so easily? If you don’t have time to commit to a new project, complete a favour, or serve on another committee, it’s a good idea to just say “no.”

Exercise Time Saving Tip 3:
Limit how many exercises you do to strengthen a muscle group. Consider doing two key exercises and do your reps with a heavier weight. Then next time use an even heavier weight. Your muscles will strengthen and you’ll save time jumping from one exercise to the next and potentially reduce your waiting time too.

Exercise time saving Tip 2: Set yourself time limits. Racing against the clock to get your reps done might feel too fast at first but you’ll soon get used to the pace and find yourself getting faster and stronger.
