After missing a session with my Crunch trainer last week - c’mon, it was a hectic week! - I poked his brain on how to maximize my workouts when I’m short on time. One word: supersets. While I was unfamiliar with the term, I had already experienced the concept of supersets in a few of our training sessions. During supersets, you pair up two different sets of exercises, one right after the other, without resting in between the sets. By doing so, you save time, add intensity, and help build muscle while also getting your heart rate up - hello, cardio! Supersets

are beneficial for cutting down time spent in the gym, but they’re also a way to maximize what you’re doing while there. If you don’t have time for separate cardio and strength sessions, supersets come in handy. Because you move quickly through strength training exercises, your heart responds with an elevated rate as it pumps oxygen to your muscles. Supersets can also aid in overloading muscle groups that need more targeting. Learn how to use supersets in your next workout after the break!
