“Cherish time, your most valuable resource. You can never make up the time you lose. It’s the most important value for any productive happy individual and is the only limitation to all accomplishment. To waste time is to waste your life. The most important choices you’ll ever make are how you use your time.”
-Kekich Credo #2
With Spring Break (Swimsuit Season!) just 4 weeks away, it’s crunch time.
You need to be able to get results you can see in the mirror, like now. And if you’re like my clients, you don;’t have any time.
You don’t have time to go to the gym for hours at a time. You need to be able to get in and get out fast.
While getting the results you deserve.
What I’ve learned over the last few years with my clients is how to get twice the results in half the time.
Back in the day we only did one hour sessions.
In the last 5 years we realized we could get faster results, by crushing that hour workout down to 30min.
Twice the results in half the time!
There’s no secret formula here you can save time in your workouts just like we do.
There’s 3 things that you can do to make your workouts Shorter AND more productive.
1) Have a writen plan.
Taking the 3 minutes required to write your workout down will save you hours of inefficiency and wandering around from exercise to exercise.
“Know before you go” to the gym.
The power is IN the planning also. You can throw out exercises that don’t move you directly to your goal. Like doing tricep kickbacks with 5lb dumbells when your goal is to lose 30lbs.
The exercises you choose should move you directly to your goal.
Not just exercise for the sake of exercising.
Which brings us to point number 2.
2) Do full body exercises that use a lot of muscle in a short amount of time.
The more muscle you use in less time equals faster visible results you can see in the mirror.
Think exercises like
Push-Ups
Dumbell presses
Squats
Squat Clean and presses overhead
Deadlifts from the floor
1 Arm clean and presses
Pull-ups(or Pull-downs)
Lunges with any upper body movement
curls or presses
In fact 1 or 2 sets of each of the exercises above would be a very effective total body 30 min workout.
3) Have a deadline.
You’ve got your written plan and your start time.
And MORE importantly an end time.
You need to have an end time too, 30 min, later.
No matter what you have or have not gotten done, you’ve got to walk out.
You’ll get really good at this over time.
This will force you to focus, eliminate distractions, idle talk, and conversation when moving from exercise to exercise.
You’ll also notice a sense of urgency and less pacing yourself when you know it’s going to be only 30 min and you focus on” how much can I get done in this short amount of time”.
(Pro-tip leave your phone in your locker, do not have it on you. If you have time to look at your phone, you’re not training hard enough)
Use these 3 principle to get twice the results in half the time just like our VIP Clients.
Talk soon.
