Improve Your Fitness Results In the Same Amount of Time

Using your time wisely can drastically change your results from working out. Isolating your muscles cannot yield the same results as more efficient, full-body training.

Kettlebells can provide the most bang-for-the-buck. Using high-impact exercises like the get-up, swing, snatch, and clean provides both a strength and cardio workout that can get you into amazing shape. For the kettlebell newbie, only 10 minutes a day can enable you to change your body and functional strength in no time.

Popular fitness magazines encourage you to split your workouts down into each body part, however, full body exercises can yield faster results. These exercises include pull-ups, dips, and squats. In addition, using heavy-weights will allow you to build your muscles and increase functional performance.

The workouts listed below can have major effects on your body. Use more weight than you’re used to if you want to burn additional calories and increase your functional strength.

Workout A1

A1: Deadlift-5 sets of 3-5 reps

2-1: Weighted Pull-up 3×5

B2: Weighted Dip-3 sets of 5 reps

C1: Hanging Leg Raise-3×10

3b: Kettlebell or Dumbbell Swing (3×20)

Workout B1

1a: Bench Press (5×5)

B1: Double Kettlebell/Barbell Clean and Jerk-3×6

2-2: Renegade Row 3×6

3a: Kettlebell or Dumbbell Get-up (Right Arm)

C2: Kettlebell/Dumbbell Get up (Left Arm)

4a: Jump rope intervals (10 Minutes)

Follow this workout for a month, alternating Workout 1 and 2 three days a week and along with a healthy diet and a basketball session or two and you will start seeing some major results in overall strength and muscularity, not to mention fat loss. Forget the wrist curls and lateral raises and start hitting your whole body. With these exercises, you’ll be hitting all the muscles that you would have with isolation exercises.

No need to do curls because heavy pull-ups will build your arms. No need for lateral raises because the push press will take care of your entire shoulder. You’ll build a better body in half the time of a muscle magazine workout. Time is expensive so why waste it on actions that aren’t going to give you the most bang for your buck. I doubt you would spend twice as much money for a car you could get for half the price elsewhere. Spend your time wisely and start seeing results!
