3. High intensity interval workouts (hiit)
· Shortens your workouts
· Helps lower blood pressure

6. Keep track of progress
· We have always found keeping track of progress can either make you feel good or bad about yourself. However,r a log is a self-motivater because it helps you see your workout achievements.
· By keeping track whether it’s an application or a spreadsheet helps you set realistic goals for yourself
· It can help motivate you to keep going to beat those goals
· Keeps you in the know. Many people who don’t keep track can either think they are workout enough or not enough. By having a log, you can find flaws in your workout routine and tweak it to remove those flaws
