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



💪 Example routine

 

1️⃣ Workout 1 (Monday):

Warmup:

  • Quadruped Spine Rotations - 1 set, 10 reps per side

  • Prone Shoulder Press - 1 set, 15 reps

  • Wall Assisted Deep Squats - 1 set, 15 reps

SUPERSET Dumbbell Bench Press | Pull-ups (assisted, or bodyweight)

2️⃣ Workout 2 (Friday):

If you’re serious about honoring God with your body, a proper workout routine is only part of the solution.
