It doesn’t matter whether you want to lose weight, burn fat, or build muscle; for everything you need to have a plan. There are certain ways through which you can achieve fitness the way you want it and for that you need to follow a direction. Here I am going to help you identify, set and achieve fitness goals.

Burn More Fat

If you want to burn more fat, you need to burn more calories. Experts around the globe have revealed that long and slow exercises burn more fat as compared to short and fast-paced exercises. So if you have been trying to burn fat through quicker exercising drills and haven’t seen any positive results; now you know what you have been doing wrong.

Run Fast

If you want to run fast, you will have to work on your stride length and stride frequency. In order to achieve that, you will have to work on your hip extensors, glutes and hamstrings. Experts suggest that you can work on these muscles through squats, step-ups and single-leg Romanian squats.

Lift Heavier

Building your strength is going to help you achieve this goal. If you want to lift heavier than your usual weights, you will have to work on your strength. Several gym trainers from around the world suggest that you should lift weights that fatigues you within the first six reps. They also claim that the maximum amount of rest which you should give yourself between every set ranges between 2-3 minutes.

Improve Agility

Improving agility is more about practice on a daily basis. If you want to be agile, you’ll have to start working on your agility even during day-to-day tasks. For instance, if you have been running on a daily basis, start dodging puddles on a rainy day. The best way to build your agility is through cone exercises. Place the training cones 18 inches apart and stretch them up to 10 yards. Run through these cones and make sure that you time yourself. Practice this drill every day and try to improve your time.

Increase Flexibility

If you are not a fan of stretching exercises, you can never be flexible. You need to indulge in more stretching activities if you want to improve your flexibility. Start taking part in static, passive, and dynamic stretching on a daily basis. Dynamic stretching helps you flex several muscles in your body. Moreover, it provides the best exercise for your joints. Experts suggest that people who want to increase their flexibility should practice 2-3 sets of 20 at least once a day. Moreover, stretching before other workouts also helps you prevent muscle injuries and cramps.

Remember, in the end its about charting your progress and keeping a track of your fitness efforts. If you don’t do that, you will not gain the motivation required to achieve the fitness goals you set.
