Get fit in just 20 minutes!
Build your dream body with this one crazy hack!
Buy this gadget and all your pain will go away.
There’s no shortage of crazy promises in the health and fitness industry.
It’s easy to see why beginners are confused and/or discouraged.
So let’s be honest for a second:
20 minutes is not enough.
There’s no single hack that will make you lose weight.
Suspension trainers are awesome but they too will not fix you.
The good news?
Building a sensible and effective workout schedule is possible after cutting through the nonsense. Once you know what really moves the needle, you make time for it.
Let’s look at one of my favorite workout schedules as an example.
It consists of 3 different workout days that I call “Activation”, “Development” and “Recovery”.
Ideally, I follow the schedule as shown in the graphic but if I have to be flexible, I know which ones to prioritize. Let’s say I did my activation workout on Monday but then I don’t have time to workout on Tuesday.
Do you think I’m doing recovery on Wednesday?
Of course not, I make sure I get some high-intensity development work done!
And if at the end of a busy week, I only did 2 sessions in the red zone, I know I moved forward.
Not as much as doing all 6 workouts but more than doing 2 recovery sessions.
Getting in shape is not as complicated as the industry makes it out to be. To stay time-efficient keep your eye on high-leverage activities and adjust your training schedule accordingly.
