How To Exercise When You Have No Time

Dear busy reader,

I know how you feel.

Going through the motions each day without a second to spare.

-Wake up
-Work all day
-Eat dinner
-Spend 19 minutes with family
-Watch a bit of Netflix
-Sleep
-Repeat

And it gets worse…

The gym is absolutely slammed from 4pm to 7pm every weekday.

So what do you do?

There are only 2 reasonable answers:

Hit the gym first thing in the morning

Or…

Workout at home first thing in the morning

Now how do you get maximal results in minimum time?

Focus on the 6 key movement patterns:

1. Horizontal push (pushup/bench)
2. Vertical push (shoulder press)
3. Horizontal pull (row)
4. Vertical pull (pull-up/pulldown)
5. Knee flexion (squat)
6. Hip flexion (deadlift)

But don’t do all 6 every day.

Instead…

Group them in workouts of 2 or 3 exercises.

For example:

Workout 1: Bench and shoulder press
Workout 2: Row and pulldown
Workout 3: Squat and deadlift

Or

Workout 1: Squat, bench, and row
Workout 2: Deadlift, shoulder press, and pull-up

As for weight, sets and reps…

Same weight for 2–3 sets of 6–10.

Add 5–10lbs every time you get to 10 reps.

Repeat for as long as you can keep good form.

Record videos of your sets to see how you look.

Write down your workouts and always aim to improve.

If you can do this…

…in a few months, you might surprise yourself with what you’re able to accomplish in only 90 minutes per week or less.

The only missing ingredient from here is to get to work.
