5 Ways to Cut Your Workout Time

By John Foxtruff

Do you know the 2 main reasons men and women stop working out/exercising?

1) Lack of time 2) Lack of motivation

Here are a few things covering up some ways you can get your work outs finished faster. Most of all, no one should spend more than 60 minutes in the gym. Here are the 5 ways you could cut time from your workouts.

a) Try Supersets

I like to use "non-competing" superset. This means, choose two exercises for different muscle groups - and preferably completely opposite movements. For example, choose a push and a pull. That way, one muscle group rests while the other works and you cut the rest time you need between 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 a good amount of time at home (you wont need to change the weights that is on the dumbbells between exercises) and in the gym (you wont need to fight for 2 sets of dumbbells).

d) Choose Intervals over slow 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.

In addition to ab workouts, don't spend more than 10 minutes a week working on direct abs training. It's not efficient and won't give you strong ripped abs alone. Workout less, live life more! It is all about short intense training. - 17273
