If you’re hardly sweating at the gym, that probably means that your workouts are not as intense as you’d want them to be. Take a look at these useful tips that will help you push your limits during your next workout.

Limit Rest Time

One of the easiest ways to make your workouts more intense is by limiting your rest periods. Keeping your rest period between 30 to 60 seconds is a great way to achieve better results and stop wasting your time between sets.

Set Daily Goals

Try not to focus on your long-term fitness goals that can often seem unattainable at the moment. Instead, make sure to create realistic daily goals that will motivate you to work hard and boost your confidence once you complete an intense workout.

Turn Up The Tunes

Listening to upbeat music is a great way to motivate yourself to achieve your daily goals. A great playlist can even help your push your limits and do more sets than you’d planned.

Switch Things Up

If you’ve lost motivation to work hard on your fitness goals, maybe it’s time to switch things up a little. Create different goals or try a new sport in order to boost your motivation and confidence.
