How to train efficiently for your workouts routines, here are 15 tips to help you.

1. Interval Training

If you play a sport that requires a full sprint, remember that a full sprint strains the muscles of the lower body.

To combat this, do stop-and-go exercises. For example, run 30 meters at about 80 percent of your effort, slow to a jog for five to 10 meters, then run again for another 30 meters. Repeat this process five times.

2. On bended knees

Likewise, the bond between those who study under the same teacher is regarded as being parallel to kinship, so that such students refer to each other as “pee nong”, brothers and sisters.
