In Workouts, Weightlifting & Circuit Training

Rest is important when weightlifting. Different rest times yield very different results and providing consistent rest allows you to reach goals and watch your progress. Not timing rest can result in workouts that may run much longer than planned. Use Gymboss to time an exact rest period, such as 60 seconds, or whatever rest time you desire, between every set. Set the rest you desire and the beep and/or vibration of the Gymboss lets you know when your rest is over. Or, set the repeating feature and complete a disciplined workout of 20 sets in 30 minutes with approximately 60 seconds rest between each set, that’s a 30 minute workout every time!

It also keeps you regular, eliminating a lot of the excuses that those who have to travel to their workout destination inevitably come up with. Another major plus of home training is that you don’t have to stand around waiting for machinery or barbells to become free. An effective workout builds upon itself, with the intensity ramping up with each succeeding set. You can’t do that when you’re sitting around waiting for the bench to free itself up.

In Workouts & WeightliftingStrength training is one of the most important types of exercise you can do. While cardio is good for your heart, lifting weights is good for everything else! Regular strength training is beneficial for your muscles, joints, bones, and posture.

Unfortunately, weightlifting workouts are often time-consuming. For every set you do, you have to spend at least as long resting. Also, during those breaks, it’s all too easy to be distracted or get into a conversation so that your workout ends up taking even longer.
