Break up your workouts

Swap stretching for a dynamic warmup.

Don’t stretch in vain. In one Austin State University study, people who warmed up with light leg extensions and squats were able to squat with 8.36% more weight during their workout than if they had performed typical “bend and hold” stretches.

Listen to music.

Everyone knows that your favorite tunes can fire you up for a workout, but in one Indian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology of 30 men and women, people who listened to music (especially slow music) after their workout recovered faster than did those who went sans tunes.

Eat more healthy calories.

Ultimately, the process of building muscle is still a different way of achieving one simple aim: weight gain. A big part of this is to simply consume more calories a day, packed with nutrients that come from carbohydrates, protein, vitamins and minerals.
