As many have said, the key to smart fitness training is the kind of fitness program that you get involved with and the quality of how you perform the routines. Many of you might have observed working out for a long time and spending much of your time everyday to end up not seeing any result at all. If you want to perform short workouts yet get fast results, then here are some of the tips to consider.

1. Choose the right fitness plan or program - If you plan to workout, you have the freedom to choose the kinds of workouts that you want to engage. Nonetheless, not many of you are knowledgeable on how a particular workout works and what that particular workout tries to target. Hence, it is better to get the assistance of a fitness professional to choose or recommend the appropriate program for you.

2. Keep your exercises at an optimal order - To do this, you need to plan out your exercises to the order that you would get the optimum result. Example, you start with the warm up in order to prepare you for the workout which at the same time helps you start to burn calories already. Like simple walking or walking on a treadmill. Then you start with the strength exercises wherein you have to incorporate your superset for the workout. This means to say working on weights from the heavy weight at low repetitions like three sets of at most six repetitions per set. Then proceed with the repetition exercises where you need to perform a moderate repetition of four sets of at least eight to twelve repetitions for every set. After which, you can start with the endurance exercises where you need to perform the routines at high repetitions. The common forms of these routines are the pushups, the squats, and the chin ups which you perform until you hit the failure. Then lastly, put intervals if necessary in order not to over train your body and end up in fatigue. When you say interval, you mean rest or pause in between the sets or in between the repetitions only if necessary.

3. Doing the 21's - The 21's refer to dividing the routine into three parts of seven repetitions per part. The three divisions refer to the top, the bottom, and the entire movement. This is commonly done when you do curls where you need to perform seven tops, then seven bottoms and then seven full repetitions.

4. Doing the 10 to 1 - This is to add variation to the routine where you need to start with the heaviest weight that you can carry and then perform one repetition and then as you try to strip a weight, increase the repetition to two. This you need to do until you reach ten repetitions for the lightest weight that you can carry. Or you can do it the other way around by starting with ten repetitions for the lighter weight and end with one repetition for the heaviest weight.

Lastly, you can keep the same weight for all the sets but then you should hold it there for ten seconds in order to feel the contracted position and then repeat the lift and hold for 9 seconds until you decrease the time of holding it at a contracted position. These are simple ways to get into short but fast result workouts.
