Planning Your Workouts

Planning Your Workouts

Most people think about muscles when planning their workout. There is nothing wrong with that but it is harder to plan a full-body workout like that and not take 2-3 hours in the gym.

Instead of thinking of muscles, think of movements. This is also a great way to work out and it will take less time to hit the major muscle groups. This allows you to have a solid workout between 30-60 min.

Here is a way to plan your own workouts when you are short on time.

Pick 1 or 2 exercises from each category and perform 3-4 sets of each. These basic movement patterns work around the major muscles and joints of your body and will provide you with a good full-body workout.

Always make sure proper form is a priority!
