Discover effective strategies to maximise your workouts and optimise training efficiency. Read on to explore various techniques for enhancing your fitness routine, improving results, and getting the most out of your training time.

How can you benefit from efficient training?

In our hectic lives, finding time for exercise is important, but it's just as crucial to make the most of that time. Workout efficiency means optimising your session to achieve maximum results in the shortest possible time. By incorporating effective strategies into your fitness routine, you can increase the effectiveness of your workouts, enhance your fitness gains, and reach your goals more efficiently.

What are the best strategies for workout efficiency?

High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT): HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief recovery periods. This method has been shown to be effective for burning more calories, improving cardiovascular fitness, and boosting metabolism, making it a great alternative to traditional cardio workouts.

Circuit Training: Circuit training involves performing a series of exercises back-to-back with minimal rest in between. It elevates your heart rate, improves strength and endurance, and provides a full-body workout in a shorter period.

Active Rest: Instead of resting completely between sets, you can perform active recovery exercises like jumping jacks or jogging on the spot. This keeps your heart rate elevated and adds an aerobic component to your workout, further maximising calorie burn.

To get the most out of your workouts, it's essential to have a well-planned and time-managed strategy. The first step is to set clear fitness goals that will guide your training routine. It's important to plan your workouts in advance and allocate specific time slots for each session.

Treating exercise like an important appointment helps you prioritise it in your daily routine. To optimise your warm-up time, choose dynamic exercises that prepare your body for the upcoming workout. Additionally, alternating exercises that target different muscle groups can reduce downtime and keep your muscles engaged throughout the session. By following these tips, you can optimise your workout efficiency and achieve your fitness goals.

Listen to your body and practise recovery

Prioritising recovery and listening to your body is just as important as maximising workout efficiency. To promote recovery, it's crucial to give your body time to rest between workouts, which facilitates muscle repair and growth and reduces the risk of injury.

Furthermore, quality sleep is crucial for optimal recovery, and drinking enough water supports energy levels and muscle function. Fuelling your body with a balanced diet containing carbohydrates, proteins, and healthy fats is also necessary for achieving your fitness goals. Incorporating these tips into your routine can therefore help you get the most out of your training time and achieve better results.

Our commitment to being best in class

Vårt jobb mot att vara bäst i klassen

Food supplements are based on finding the most powerful vitamins and minerals and concentrating them into an easy-to-take format. Sometimes, the most potent minerals are found far away. The long distances that products and raw materials have to travel is one of the climate challenges we share with others in our industry.

Just because the easiest option is to place production and manufacturing far away in other parts of the world doesn't mean it's always the right choice for us. In fact, we're not satisfied with that approach. We constantly strive to find better ways to produce our supplements without compromising on quality. Through innovation, fresh thinking, and new production methods, we aim to drive change in our industry.

In 2022, we took a significant step by moving our production across the Atlantic, from the USA to Europe, with most products now manufactured in Scandinavia.

This effort involves finding new, powerful raw materials closer to home, as our

goal is to work with raw materials close to production, and to have production close to where the product will be consumed.

We are one of the first brands to be certified under 'Certified for self-care', a standard based on regulatory requirements and recognised food standards such as ISO 22000 and ISO 9001.

In a crowded market of food supplements and different brands, it can be difficult to know what to choose. First, you need to understand yourself and your body—what do you actually need? Perhaps thoughts like these come to mind: 'What is it I even need? Am I tired because I'm sleeping poorly, or am I deficient in something? Is my energy low because of poor sleep or too much stress? Maybe I sleep badly because I'm stressed, and that's why I always have stomach problems?'

Next, you need to figure out which food supplements to take based on your needs. If you need an energy boost, should you top up with B vitamins, Q10, or iron? And for that troublesome stomach, does it need good bacteria, or perhaps enzymes to help break down difficult foods?

Once you've got that far, it's time to decide which brand to choose. Here, the options are endless. This is where we feel confident in saying that we are one of the few certified brands, and we are committed to providing high-quality and safe supplements.

But what if you're still stuck on steps 1 and 2? We highly recommend taking our 

 to help you choose the right food supplements.

Looking ahead, we will continue to explore new packaging methods, reuse, and production techniques—all to reduce the amount of shipping required. Our ambition is to integrate circular thinking throughout the entire lifecycle of our products. We will also continue to monitor developments in our industry and others to ensure we always remain at the forefront.

Refills - for when your jar is empty:

In times of crisis and rising costs, it's easy for long-term sustainability initiatives to be deprioritised. However, during 2022 and previous years, we have made decisions based on our values and 5 focus areas. This has meant we can honestly say that sustainability has remained one of our biggest priorities throughout 2022. So, what are our 5 focus areas? For us, everything is connected in a chain of support...

We exist to help people feel good – so they have the energy to do good things – both for themselves and for the planet. For decades, women's health in particular has been left behind, and we want to do something about that. Both by championing the cause and as a provider of food supplements.

Health is our core business. We want our customers to be healthy and happy, but looking after our employees is just as important to us. Motivated, healthy employees form our stable foundation and are crucial for carrying out our work seriously – including our sustainability efforts.

Our products must be of high quality, and we work continuously to optimise them. The focus here is on the content and effectiveness of our products, while we constantly strive to reduce the impact their manufacturing has on the planet.

Two of our main challenges are transport and packaging. Our products need to be protected to maintain their shelf life and effectiveness, and they must be transported responsibly. They also need to be sold in a way that makes it easier for the consumer to make sustainable choices – something we are working tirelessly on!

Together with others, we can achieve the greatest impact. Our relationships form an ecosystem where we leverage each other's expertise. Our code of conduct is our guiding star for all types of collaborations.
