Optimize Your Workouts With Active Rest

http://www.builtlean.com - How can you increase in strength and stamina, decrease joint pain and stiffness, relieve stress, feel lighter and younger without increasing the amount of time you workout? Active rest of course. For more detail, check out the full article on BuiltLean.com here: http://bit.ly/lMRLXK Transcripts: MARK: Hey! This is Mark Perry from BuiltLean.com and I wanted to discuss a very important exercise concept called active rest, and so if you'r busy and wanna optimize your time, when you're working out, I strongly encourage that you to actively rest which means you're doing one of three things when you're not actually doing a set or exercise. You are either stretching, you're hydrating or grabbing some water or you're fine tuning form. I think I'll start with the first and most important thing you should be doing which is stretching. So too many people don't make the time to stretch, even though it's literally one of the three components of exercise, right? you got strength training, you got cardiovascular activity you got flexibility and flexibility is gonna make you feel so much better. And so, what I recommend is if you're doing chest exercise that you stretch your chest, if you're doing a back exercise, then you stretch your back. And so, you're stretching the muscles that you're targeting and then given exercise. Also, in terms or prioritizing try to stretch the muscles that are the tightest. So if you've tight hips for example, or you stretch your hips or if you've tight hamstrings, then just keep on stretching your hamstrings. You can literally get probably,you know, 10, 15, even 20 minutes of stretching in your workout in between exercises, it's usually important. Second is hydrating. A number of people will bring like, a bottle of water for example to the gym, or bring even a gallon of water I've even seen, or just go to the water fountain. The general guideline for drinking, as you're exercising, is about half a cup to cup of water for 15 to 20 minutes of exercise that's what you'll see if you check out an exercise book or nutrition book, and that's a general guideline, but of course you should kinda go by how you feel. And finally is fine-tuning form. You can work for example your biceps in a form in the mirror just to make sure you're getting the right form and so those ar three things you should be doing. So again, if you're at the gym, you should be doing stuff, you shouldn't be kinda sitting around and doing nothing, so I think it's a really important concept, it sounds simple but it really is huge, and it can improve your effectiveness, as you work out and really improve your body long term.
