In today's video, I am going to discuss 4 things to consider and implement to get the most out of your fitness routine no matter what strategy you choose.

1. Prioritize time under tension. The more time your muscles spend under tension the harder the muscles have to work. This leads to more efficient muscle growth, increased muscle endurance, improved bone mineral density, and of course everyone’s favorite, lower body fat percentages.

2. Prioritize form or better said, prioritize injury-free lifting. Keep great posture and focus on the movement pattern and the muscles you want to engage during a movement to decrease the likelihood of injury and see your fitness increase more efficiently.

3. Perform full range of motion movements. If you are squatting, squat all the way until your hamstrings run into your calves and stand yourself up and until your knees and hips are locked out.

4. Keep a log of what you are doing and increase either the repetitions, the sets, the distance or the weight you are using over time. This is essential to ensure we are continuously adapting and improving. Otherwise our body is so amazing at creating efficiency, and figuring how to do the most with the least amount of effort.

The six pack is nice but that is really just for external validation. Being able to show up in the moment with a fully capable body is where the fitness magic is at.
