1. Use Supersets
Chose exercise that use different muscles and pair them up. These are refered to as non-competing supersets in the Turbulence Training Program.
Select 2 or 3 different exercises for different muscle groups. Some of your options are to go upper body and lower body, or a push and pull.
- If you want to do 3 exercises you can do an upper body pull followed by a lower body, then back to the upper body with a pushing exercise.
Do this saves time and allows one muscle group to rest while another is working.
2. Better pre workout warmup
Skip the treadmill. Instead, follow a total body circuit that includes bodyweight exercises for your general warmup. After that move on to the necessary movements for your workout. Use specific warm-up sets for your first two exercises.
3. Pair dumbbell and bodyweight exercises together in your supersets
This saves you time at home (you don’t need to change the dumbbell weight between exercises) and in the gym (you don’t need to fight for 2 sets of dumbbells).
4. Interval Training for cardio
The latest research shows more weight loss when people use intervals over long slow cardio. We are talking about saving you time so you will be happy to know high intensity intervals can be done in half the time of traditional long slow cardio.
5. Use Multi joint exercises
Pick multi-muscle exercises, such as squats, pulls, pushes, and rows. If you have time, you can squeeze in some dropsets for arms and shoulders if you want. However, if you only have 3 sessions of 45 minutes per week, isolation exercises must be the first to go.
Limit direct ab work to 10 minutes a week. Training your abs in isolation isn’t efficient, plus it does little to melt fat and show your abs.
Workout less, get better results, enjoy your free time!

My favorite bodyweight exercise is the Sumo Squat which I learned from Mark Lauren’s book, You Are Your Own Gym. What I like best about it is that it works so many different muscles at the same time: hamstrings, quadriceps, glutes, etc. Check this out:
“Take a wide stance with your toes pointed out. While keeping your back straight, swing your arms out in front of you and drop your hips until your thighs are parallel to the ground.
Push yourself back up to the start position, really squeezing your glutes tightly at the top. Hold the contraction at the top of the movement for a couple of seconds.”
It sounds simple, but it gets tough. Especially if you follow the Variation Technique (one of the best parts about Mark Lauren’s book). In this case, the exercise variation is to do that same exercise except on your toes. Good luck!
