Detraining, Retraining, And Not Sitting Still
Taking a break or having to ease up on your training doesn’t mean that you’ll immediately lose all of the gains you’ve been making. It takes longer than we think to lose the strength, muscle, and endurance we’ve built. Even when do we lose some, it’s not as difficult as we think to get it back.
The Simplest Way To Get In Amazing Shape
The 80/20 principal states that in any field, you can get 80% of results with only 20% of effort, and the last 20% will take the last 80% of the effort. This is meant to be encouraging that you can a lot of good results without having to dedicate all of your time and energy.

Your phone can actually be a useful tool when working out, whether it is playing music, recording your reps, filming your own progress, or playing quick games while you rest between sets.

What Are Microworkouts?
Microworkouts are super short workouts that are usually only one or two exercises that are done until failure. They can be useful for targeting specific muscles and accessory work that would allow individuals to build muscle faster outside of their regular workouts. They can also be good for people who struggle to make time for longer workouts, but still want to add movement into their daily routines.
