In a perfect world, nothing would get in the way of your weekly workouts. But, let\u2019s be real — life sometimes gets in the way. That\u2019s why I designed the workouts in my app<\/a> to adjust to your time frame, ability, goals, available equipment, and so on. And the techniques I incorporate for my people that are in a hurry are extremely strategic because every minute has to count.<\/p>\n

Here are some of my top strategies to accelerate your results by maximizing your training time and igniting the afterburn effect (what happens when your body continues to burn calories post-workout).<\/p>\n

Focus on high intensity<\/strong>
\nIf you\u2019re mid-workout and your heart rate\u2019s not up, you\u2019re not doing it right. The most effective way to shed pounds is to train at 85 percent of your maximum heart rate (MHR) \u2013 to get this number, simply subtract your age from 220. Then, torch even more calories during your workout by taking your MHR to almost 100 percent for a minute or so with high-intensity interval training (HIIT) exercises like sprinting, jump rope, mountain climber variations, burpee variations, etc.<\/p>\n
