Training Tip of the Day: Monitor Your Heart Rate to Fine-Tune Rest Time
Ever feel like your rest between sets is either too short or way too long? Try using your heart rate as a guide.

It’s like a built-in coach telling you when you’re ready to lift. So, skip the stopwatch and let your heartbeat set the pace for your best gains yet.
