Streamline Your Routine

You’re not alone if you’re wary of being the gym geek, referencing a book after every set throughout your routine. But having a plan when you start exercising can transform your workout—and your body. “Failing to plan is planning to fail,” says Charles Staley, a strength and conditioning coach based in Phoenix, Arizona, and author of Muscle Logic. “There are a million ways to structure your training, many of which work, but you can become paralyzed by all the options. If you come in with a plan and work within it, you’ll see better results.” In other words, don’t improvise—strategize. Find a workout tailored to your goal before you set foot inside the gym. If you’re hoping to burn fat during your treadmill session, adopt an interval training plan. For bigger strength gains, change up your rep ranges every 2 to 4 weeks, or as frequently as every workout.
