Fitness Weight Loss Tip : Split Routines

If you’re looking to lose a few pounds and help things along with exercise, try working out twice a day rather than once.

With split routines

you increase the calories you can burn without tiring yourself out in one long mega-session – you can work out for longer in total each day and put more effort into your routines
you keep your metabolism firing on all cylinders giving it a big boost twice during the day
you keep your goals central in your mind – and hopefully yourself on the straight and narrow
you won’t have much time left for sitting around pigging out in front of the TV!

If you try this be sure and vary your activities each session and each day so that you reduce the risk of strain and injury on any one part of your body.

Split routines are used most often in weight training to mean working different muscle groups each day and avoid overtaxing any one part of the body, but if you are up for it here is a suggested a.m. p.m split routine incorporating both cardio and strength training.
