Get Shredded with Time Efficient Training!
This Article Is By RealMOVEMENT Level 3 Coach @Luke Sharp
You think you don’t have time to train to get the results you want? I understand training can take a backseat to other commitments such as work, family and life in general.
One way is to start including 5 minute blocks of movement into your day which I wrote about here 5 minutes. This idea originally came from RealSTRENGTH Method from RealMOVEMENT project. Being part of RMP has been a massive part of my growth in the last year.
Another way is to only use the biggest bang for your buck exercises while at the gym and get out within half an hour. The problem- what are the best exercises to include?
Accessible to most people in terms of mobility
Awesome hip, leg & strength as well as increasing testosterone and helping you get lean
Can do almost anywhere, any time
Awesome for back and core development
Can be assisted with bands or a machine to suit all levels
Awesome for helping undo computer posture
Awesome for upper body strength
Great way to keep shoulder joints happy
Huge activation of core giving you big bang for buck!
Conditioning, strength and body composition all in one!
Big returns!
Can be done with almost anything!
The way I recommend using these exercises if you are seriously short on time is simply get into the gym, perform 5 minutes of mobility and then do sets of 5 on the minute of the chosen exercise. The weight should feel like a 7/10 (on the first set) in terms of load. Each time you get through all sets, add some little plates next session.
10 sets of 5 on the minute, with 5 minutes of mobility, 5 minutes to warm up your exercise and 5 minutes to cool down will give you enough time to get into the change room put your training gear on and even have a post workout protein shake in 30 minutes.
4 x 30 minutes of your time per week and you have a balanced gym program to get you ripped and ready for Summer!!
