Hey!
I know you’re busy, but you’re still wanting to honor God with your body, which is AWESOME!
So let’s jump right in on how you should set up a workout routine that…
Trains every major area of your body
Prioritizes efficiency
Provides results
⭐️ Highlights:
2 workouts per week (spread out with multiple days in between)
Full Body training both workouts
Less than 45 minutes per workout
3 sets per exercise, 8-15 reps
🔹 Workout Structure:
Warmup: mobility exercises for spine, shoulders, and hips (most common areas of weakness/pain)
SUPERSET - Upper Body Push exercise | Upper Body Pull exercise
SUPERSET - Lower Body Squat exercises | Lower Body Hip Hinge exercise
SUPERSET - Shoulders exercise | Abs exercise
✅ Things you definitely should do if you’re busy:
Supersets to save time - no sitting around!
Lift as heavy as you can -> requires less reps -> saves time
Compound (multi-joint) exercises
Do cardio through physical activity with others versus by yourself
❌ Things you probably shouldn’t do:
Do many single arm/single leg movements (e.g. Single Arm Rows, Split Squats)
Do many single joint movements (e.g. Bicep Curls, Leg Extensions)
Expect rapid progress
