Faster results in less time (kinda)

Happy International Pancake Day!

Sunny morning and pancakes? Yes please!

I'm lucky to work from home on Tuesday mornings so I could cook my own protein pancakes. They were delicious! Canadian style ;)

To the topic now.

I get it - life is busy. Between work, family, and everything else, finding time to work out can feel impossible. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to spend hours in the gym to see real progress.

The truth is that there are things you cannot control completely and you'll have to be patient. Fitness journey is a winding road with a lot of obstacles.

But there are a few things that you can apply to make sure you're doing the best you can.

The Secret? Training Smarter, Not Longer.

Most people think more time equals better results, but the truth is, intensity and consistency matter more than duration.3 Ways to Maximize Your Workouts:

1️⃣ Focus on Compound Movements – Squats, deadlifts, and push-ups work multiple muscle groups, burning more calories and help you build functional strength in less time.
2️⃣ Increase Workout Density – Instead of resting for long periods, try supersets or circuit training to keep moving and maximize efficiency.
3️⃣ Use Progressive Overload – Gradually increase weights, reps, or intensity to keep challenging your body.

Consistency beats perfection every time, so even if you only have 20-30 minutes, make it count. Need help structuring your workouts? Find a workout example below, or reply to this email to learn more about working with me online.

Train hard and train smart,
Brani.

This is a great workout when you either want to do something really hardcore, or only have a limited time and need to get it done quickly. You'll need a set of 2 dumbbells, mat, and towel because you're about to sweat! The goal of the workout is to perform as many rounds of exercises below as you can in 30 minutes nonstop. Only rest if you really need to. Let's go!
