Strength Tip # 5 Keep It Brief but Intense

Building on the circuit training idea--you really want to make each strength training session count by working out hard. This means keeping track of your weights and exercises and volume and increasing them each week. Focus on compound moves that work multiple body parts and use circuits to increase the cardiovascular component of your strength workout. Most people don't enjoy structured exercise just for the sake of exercise so getting in and out is a priority for most folks. Concentrate on working smarter, not longer and you will go a long way to improving your fitness.
