Do not let time constraints get in the way of getting a great workout.
You don't need a lot of time to get strong, lose weight, and drop body fat.
Having an hour for a training session is optimal, but life does not always allow for that.
Many people will just decide not to work out, but that will lead to decreased performance and ultimately not reaching your goals.
When you have minimal time for training, think about using a circuit format with larger muscle group exercises.
This will not only give you a full body workout, but will give you some cardiovascular conditioning as you progress through the circuit.
Here is an example of a great dumbbell workout that can be done in a short period of time and requires little equipment and space: 1.
Dumbbell Squat 2.
Dumbbell Overhead Press 3.
Dumbbell Bent Over Row 4.
Dumbbell Lunge 5.
Dumbbell Sit Up 6.
Dumbbell Seated Rotation Perform 10 repetitions of each exercise (10 each side for lunges and rotations) and try to create a smooth transition between exercises (minimal or no rest).
Rest for 1 minute between circuits, performing 3-5 circuits depending on your fitness level.
This workout will give you all the benefits of a full strength training session as it hits every muscle group and works many of them in unison, the way the body should move.
Don't let lack of time be an excuse for not training.
You can always grab a few sets of dumbbells and be on your way to a great quick workout!
