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.
