Many people claim that "lack of time" is why they don't exercise as much as they'd like.
So I recommend time-crunched people figure out a way to squeeze in just 3 exercises:
- a Pull (some form of row)
- a Push (push-up, shoulder press, or - distant 3rd - chest press)
- a Compound* Lower Body exercise (squat or deadlift)
[In case you're not an exercise nerd, "Compound" just means more than one joint is working at a time. Like hips, knees, and ankles in a squat vs. just your knees in a hamstring curl machine.]
Not only is that plenty for the vast majority of people, that's how I tend to work out personally.
Bonus Tip:
You can make that workout far more effective by adding only one more exercise: Choose an exercise that emphasizes one leg at time.
You see, whenever you're on only one leg, you automatically work your inner and "outer thigh" muscles (ugh - technically, there's no such thing) AND your core muscles much more.
Lunges are a fine choice here (although I personally prefer Step Ups.)
Yes, it can be that simple.
It IS possible to get toned, regain muscle, increase bone density, strengthen your core - all the good stuff we get from strength training - with just 3 (or 4 ;-) exercises.
Of course, your Custom Fitness program at 29 Again is appropriately more comprehensive to meet your particular needs.
