Spend Less Time Exercising And Use Road Bikes

If you talk to someone who regularly goes to the gym, and ask them how long their average work out is, a typical answer will be one to two hours at least, otherwise they do not feel like they have worked properly.

However, when I tell these hard-core gym goers that I get the same results as them whilst spending only 30 minutes in the gym, they are astonished! Sometimes they will not believe a word I say.

The plain fact is there are a lot of people who have such busy schedules that finding more than 30 minutes to dedicate to a workout is just impossible. It is not laziness, but purely a lack of time to spend 1 or 2 hours in the gym several times a week.

But can you really get results with just 30 minutes of exercise each session?

Start with a plan written for everyday that you will be doing exercise on. make sure you jot down the weight you will be using for all the exercises you do. So that you stay on track you should also write down the number of repetitions and sets you will be doing. You should count regular exercise towards your target, so road bikes taken to work as a commute will count.

Make sure you split which parts of your body are worked each time. For example, on Monday and Thursday, do legs, arms and abs, and on Tuesday and Friday, do chest, back and shoulders. So you are doing half the exercises at a more intense level, making a shorter work out time more effective.

Try not socialising too much at the gym. You should not be rude or unfriendly but you will be distracted when talking to other gym goers. Remember, you only have so much time and 5 minutes spent talking rather than exercising is 5 minutes wasted. If you use headphones people will get the idea that you do not want to be distracted.

never do a cardio routine at the same time as lifting weights. You should do cardio like getting on road bikes on day and then weights the next. This way you can do a full workout in 30 minutes. You will spend more time in the gym if you do both on one day, and you are trying to cut down time!
