Training Tip - Work Harder, Not Longer

Alistair Ramsay - Wednesday, July 27, 2011
Working out for longer is rarely that beneficial to your fitness and performance. Often all you are doing is adding unnecessary fatigue and stress to your body. Instead what the vast majority of people should be focusing on is working out harder.

For example:

Completed your workout in 30 minutes?
Try doing the same workout in 25 minutes

Completed 50 burpees in 2 minutes?
Try doing 60 burpees in 2 minutes

Able to do 10 pull ups?
Try doing 10 pull ups with a weighted vest on your back

Covered 1km in 6 minutes?

Try doing it in 5 minutes


Forget about adding 10 minutes to your run or adding an extra round to your circuit. Instead, adopt the work harder, not longer mindset and great things will start to happen to your physique and fitness!
