5 Ways to Cut Your Workout Time
Do you know the 2 main reasons men and women stop working out/exercising?
1) Lack of time 2) Lack of motivation
Let's cover up 5 ways you can get your work outs done faster. After all, no one should spend more than 60 minutes in the gym. Here are 5 ways to cut time from your workouts.
a) Try Supersets
Use super sets that are non-competing. This means that you will need to select two exercises for different muscle groups, preferably select completely opposite muscle movements. Heres an example to this, use a push and a pull movement. This way, the other muscle group rests while the other is getting worked out. Doing supersets also cuts the rest time you need between your sets.
b) Choose a better warm up strategy for yourself
Don't waste 10 minutes of walking on the treadmill. Instead of doing that use your time doing a total body circuit of body weight exercises as a regular warm up for yourself, finish that then move directly into a specific warm up set for your first two exercises.
c) Pair up some dumbbells and body weight exercises together in your supersets
This will save you time at home (you wont need to change the weights on the dumbbells between exercises) and in the gym (you don't need to fight for 2 sets of dumbbells).
d) Choose to do Interval Training over slow boring cardio
The latest research shows more weight loss when people use intervals, and intervals take half as long to do.
e) Limit yourself using isolation exercises
Use a multi-muscle exercise, such as rows, pulls, pushes, and squats. If theirs time, you can put a couple drop sets for your shoulders and your arms if you want. If you got 3 workouts of 45 minutes per week, the use of isolation exercises must be dropped.
Addition to working on your abs, don't be spending more than 10 minutes a week on working direct abs training. It's not going to be efficient and won't give you strong ripped abs like your expecting. Live life more, Workout less! It is all about short workouts that are intense.
