Frank Mikulka's Weekly Fitness Tip - 02/22/2005


Question:

Ever since I got a promotion, my hours have increased. Believe me, it’s great, but my workout time has been cut. For now how can I get a quality workout in about 45 minutes or less – well more like 30 minutes? Help!
(Carla, Freeport)

Answer:
I will try to show you that less is more!

  • Cut the resting time between sets and exercises.
  • Cut out one set of duplicate exercises and instead make it 2 strong, intense sets
  • Superset or tri-set. For example: Chest press/ squats or lunges or chest press/dumbbell side laterals/ dumbbell one arm low rows
  • Most important cut exercises not body parts. Do at least one exercise per body part. You must always strive for body balance – no weak link
It will be hard work in a short time, but you will reap your rewards if you stay intense and focused.
