Maximise Your Workouts with Rest and High-Quality Nutrition – 30 Minute Anti-Aging Workout with Tips & Techniques
It’s essential to give your muscles time to recover between workouts, so make sure to leave at least 24-48 hours between sessions for adequate recovery. Fuelling your body correctly with high-quality carbohydrates around your training and taking in adequate protein will also help maximise each workout.[0] To complete this workout, aim for 12-15 repetitions of each move, taking a rest of 60 seconds between exercises, and complete each exercise three or four times for a total of 30 minutes.
The exercises are divided into two pairs of opposing movements to help you get the most out of the session, which should take less than 30 minutes.[0] Begin with pair ‘A’ and complete as many high-quality reps as possible in 40 seconds of movement 1, rest for 20 seconds, then perform a 40-second bout of movement 2. Take a break of 80 seconds before repeating the pairing.[0] Cycle through this pairing for 5 total rounds.[0] Take a break of 2-3 minutes before repeating this same process with your ‘B’ combination.[0]
If you have more time on your hands, you can pair this workout with strength training like a full-body 20-minute workout, or with a bodyweight ab workout.[1] Alternatively, if you want to give your body a break from lifting weights, switch to a lower-intensity activity such as flowing between these anti-aging yoga moves, or start a Pilates plan for beginners.[2]
Make sure to watch the clip below to become comfortable with the correct technique before launching into the workout.[3] By following these tips and giving your muscles the necessary time to recover between sessions, you can reap the maximum benefits from this short but effective workout.
