Tips for Maximizing Your Workout

2. Focus on Form: Proper form is key to preventing injuries and getting the most out of each exercise. For example, keep your core engaged during TRX pikes and maintain a straight back during kettlebell swings.
3. Pace Yourself: It’s better to perform each rep correctly than to rush through the workout.
4. Cool Down: End with a cool-down session, including static stretches and deep breathing, to aid recovery.
