Reduce The Time Spent Exercising With Road Bikes

When you ask someone how long they usually spend in the gym, a typical response is at least an hour, sometimes two, just so they feel like they have really worked out.

However, when I tell these hard-core gym goers that I get the same results as them whilst spending only 30 minutes in the gym, they are astonished! Sometimes they will not believe a word I say.

For some people however, they simply have too little time in each day to do any more than 30 minutes of exercise at a time. It’s not that they don’t want to do it; there just aren’t enough hours in the day to be in the gym for 1 to 2 hours at a time.

But is it really possible to do a workout in 30 minutes that will bring real results? The answer is a definite yes, but you will need a few simple strategies to make it happen.

To start with, make sure you have a plan for each day. Write down all of the exercises you will be doing for that day and write down all of the weights you will be using for each exercise. You can also write down repetitions and sets so you can follow every step. If you use road bikes to get to work then count this as exercise and you will quickly get your 30 minutes done.

You should split your body into spate exercise routines. For example, on Monday and Thursday, do legs, arms and abs, and on Tuesday and Friday, do chest, back and shoulders. So you are doing half the exercises at a more intense level, making a shorter work out time more effective.

Avoid socializing at the gym. While being friendly is ok, don’t let yourself get distracted by having a conversation with others in the gym. Remember, you only have so much time and 5 minutes spent talking rather than exercising is 5 minutes wasted. You can explain to people that you do not have time to talk or use headphones then people will know that you are not up for talking.

Do not mix a weights work out with cardio. You can spend your time on road bikes one day and doing arm strengthening exercises the next. This way you can do a full workout in 30 minutes. Combining the two only means you will have to spend more time in the gym and time spent in the gym is what you are trying to cut down on.
