4 easy ways to burn more fat in the gym

Hello everyone!

I hope everyone is out enjoying the beautiful summer weather. In honor of this, I want to share with you the 4 simple steps you can take to burn more calories in the gym. The best part is that they are simple, EASY, and effective solutions! (I promise)

After only 2 weeks of these tips and nutrition on par!

1) Add more volume to your workout. 
Volume will not only create more muscle hypertrophy (muscle building) it will also help burn more calories.
Switch up your workouts by adding more reps to your exercises.
Add drop sets to your last set to push your muscles to failure.
Or add more sets: try doing 7 sets on your last exercise to completely exhaust the muscle.

2) Decrease rest time between sets.
Keep your rest time to 30-60 sec (at most!)
If you have to time yourself, so be it!
This might be tricky at first, but leave all side conversations till after your done, and make the most of your workout!

3) Do not sit down between sets.
In the minimal time you have STAND UP! You don't have to run around doing burpees or jumping rope, but at least get off the machine. This will help you burn more calories in the long run.

4) Lastly: Get off your phones!
I cannot stress this enough. Yes, most of us listen to music from our smart phones. But don't allow the phone to consume you in between your sets. Think of the 45-60 min you give yourself in the gym as "sacred time". It is truly the small amount of time in the day that you can do something for you!
So go take advantage of it.
I promise this small step will have you more focused and engaged in your workouts.

These small 4 tips will have you burning more calories easily in no time. They are just small adjustments you can make today. Try it out for a week and you will see a huge improvement in your workouts.
