Fast Fitness Training For a Fast Lifestyle

No time to work out? The biggest excuse in the world I'm just so busy I don't have time to go to the gym. You do have plenty of time to eat those Ring Dings apparantely though.

Fitness Training need not be hour after hour in the gym. You can in fact get a great fat loss muscle building workout at home. My last post was an article by Craig Ballantyne on Circuit training. Circuit training is made up of anywhere from 3-10 exercises done one right after the other.

Circuit training not only gets your workout done faster but also gets your metabolism going hours after your workout is done. Circuits can be done with weights or bodyweight only.

Here is a sample Barbell Circuit I like to do when really pressed for time

Remember circuits are light weight and done for higher reps(12-20)

1) Squats

2) Bench Press

3) Bent-Over-Rows

Simple direct and to the point. Oh and it will kick your Ass. With these 3 exercises you are hitting virtually every bodypart Legs, Chest, Shoulders, Back and Arms. I normally will do 3-4 sets 12-20 reps. If your just starting out do 1 set and work up to more. Also if need be dependant on your fitness level take 30 seconds in between exercises. I can get this done in 15-20 minutes.

To busy to workout just an excuse where there's a will there's a way.

7-minute Weight Loss Circuit

7-Minute Weight Loss Circuit

One thing we have to lose from our workout mindsets is the idea of this "60-minute workout". Forget about spending that much time in the gym. Instead, choose better exercises that are more efficient. This will allow you to get your workout done faster, eliminating the "no time" workout excuse.

To do so, you need to eliminate irrelevant exercises. I know you want to do an exercise for shoulders, and one for arms, and one for abs, and one for this and that. But before you do, ask yourself, will these really get me to my goal, or have I just been convinced by bodybuilding magazines that I need 40 sets per workout to get results?

Now, taking those lessons, we can then create some pretty incredible bodyweight workouts as well. And these bodyweight workouts can get finished fast!

In fact, here is a 7-minute bodyweight circuit that can help you lose weight, burn calories, and blast your metabolism. You don't need machines or weights. You can do this anywhere!

Bodyweight squat (10-20 reps)
Pushup (10-20 reps) - do it on your knees if you must
Reverse Lunge (10 reps per leg)
Plank (30 second hold)
Close-grip Pushup (10-20 reps)
Side Plank (20 second hold per side)
Mountain Climber (10 reps per side)

Do this with no rest between exercises. Rest 1 minute at the end of the 7-minute circuit and repeat up to 3 times.

If you are a beginner, do fewer reps and take longer rests.

It's a tough, tough bodyweight circuit, especially the combination of two exercises late in the circuit. This combo literally exhausted me to my knees...twice...before I was able to finish the circuit.You can do the circuit up to 3 times.

Another weapon in your fat loss arsenal. Now you'll know how to train efficiently and eat effectively for fat loss.

Don't wait any longer to get started! Get all of these bodyweight exercises, and more, in the Turbulence Training workouts that you can do in the comfort of your own home. No more annoying drives to the gym, waiting in line for machines in an uncomfortable environment, or being intimidated by the super-buff gym bunnies. Lose fat, get fit, and workout your way - at home with only a bench, a ball, and dumbbells.
