Three Tips for Making Time for Strength Training

1. Make sure exercise is convenient: Getting to your exercise equipment should be easy and convenient. If you have to drive a half an hour to get to your gym, you will view working out as a chore. If you spend more time traveling to the gym than you do in the gym, you might want to consider a program that you can do in your home. We are more than happy to help you with this.

2. Work several muscles in one exercise: Another way to fit weightlifting into your busy schedule is to choose exercises that work several major muscle groups at the same time. Squats or the Leg Press (you can find the instructions and video demonstrations for these at http://www.global-fitness.com/strength/s_video.html) works the quadriceps, hamstrings, buttocks, and calves. Essentially, you will be training four muscle groups at the same time with these exercises.

3. Limit resting time: Skip the usual minute or so of resting time between exercises. You can do this by doing Supersets, which involves doing two or more successive exercises for a given muscle group without rest in between. For example, do a set of the Shoulder Presses and follow them immediately with a set of Lateral Raises (again, instructions/videos can be found at the above URL). This saves time and forces a lot more blood into the shoulders and provides a more intense and effective training stimulus for the shoulder muscles.
