5 Ways To Cut Your Workout Time
Do you know the 2 biggest reasons men and women stop exercising?
1) Lack of time
2) Lack of motivation
Let’s tackle “Lack of Time” today with 5 ways you can get your workouts done faster. After all, no one should spend more than 50 minutes in the gym.
Here are 5 ways to cut time from your workouts.
a) Supersets
I 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 warmup strategy
Don’t waste 10 minutes walking on the treadmill. Instead, use a total body circuit of bodyweight exercises as a general warmup, and then move directly into specific warm-up sets for your first two exercises.
c) Pair dumbbell and bodyweight exercises together in your supersets
This saves you time at home (you don’t need to change the dumbbell weight between exercises) and in the gym (you don’t 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 the use of isolation exercises
Pick multi-muscle exercises, such as squats, pulls, pushes, and
rows. If you have time, you can squeeze in some dropsets for arms and shoulders if you want. However, if you only have 3 sessions of 45 minutes per week, isolation exercises must be the first to go.
In addition, don’t spend more than 10 minutes per week on direct ab training. It’s not efficient and won’t give you rock hard abs alone.
Workout less, live life more!
This is an article from Craig Ballantyne, creator or Turbulence Training. I can not express how amazing this guy AND his workouts are. If there was ever a product that I would recommend and stand by 100%, it would be Craig and his TT workouts.
If you haven’t picked up a copy of Turbulence Training yet, I suggest you do so. You can even try it out for 21 days for less than $5!! Here are some more suggestions about where to start when using the TT workouts:
If you are a beginner, start by reading Dr. Mohr’s nutrition guidelines…eating properly will be the biggest factor in your early success.
Beginners should also start with the Introductory TT workouts to prepare their muscles for the upcoming intense training.
For others, it’s best to start with the Intermediate Level TT workouts. If those aren’t enough of a challenge, you can move onto the Original TT workout and follow the 16-week advanced program right through.
If at any time you need a break, try the TT Bodyweight 4-week plan.
And then finish off with the TT Fusion Fat Loss program followed by the 30-day Maximum Fat Loss program to cap off a full 24 weeks of Advanced TT fat loss workouts.
After that, choose between the TT for Women or TT for Muscle programs to help put the finishing touches on your physique. All of these are included as bonuses with Turbulence Training.

It is always a struggle to get the weight off and then it takes a conscious effort to keep it off.
Being over weight is an emotionally draining and physically draining situation to be in and many times your struggle is reduced to ridicule and insensitivity.
The exhilaration you feel when you look back 5 months before you made a conscious effort and see positive results is truly gratifying and often creates wide smiles and happy tears.
Losing weight can be accomplish but motivation must come from the inside to change the outside.
You can and will do it, just never give up hope.
Only give up the pounds and the inches.
Fat Butt No More
Good advice. I like interval workouts, although they kick my butt.
I always thought it was a shame that we didn’t have some better fitness trainers when I was in the Marines. It was just run run run, 5 days a week.
