Using your time wisely can drastically change your results from working out. Isolating your muscles cannot yield the same results as more efficient, full-body training.
Kettlebells can provide time-efficient exercises. Anyone who has used one can attest to the limited amount of time it takes to make you sweat. Workouts like the swing, clean, and snatch can get you into shape fast. It could take as little as 10 minutes a day to start.
Popular fitness magazines encourage you to split your workouts down into each body part, however, full body exercises can yield faster results. These exercises include pull-ups, dips, and squats. In addition, using heavy-weights will allow you to build your muscles and increase functional performance.
Below is a full body workout I used for awhile that gave me great results. The key is heavy weights. Obviously, don't go overboard, but with a weight that's heavier than you're used to will burn more calories and increase your strength tremendously.
Workout A
1-1: Deadlift 5x5
2a: Weighted Pull-up (3x5)
2-2: Weighted Dip 3x5
C1: Hanging Leg Raise-3x10
C2: Kettlebell/Dumbbell Swing-3x20
Workout B1
1a: Bench Press (5x5)
2a: Double Kettlebell or Barbell Clean and Jerk (3x6)
2b: Renegade Row (3x6)
3-1: Kettlebell,Dumbbell Get-up (Right)
3-2: Kettlebell,Dumbbell Get-up (Left)
4a: Jump rope intervals (10 Minutes)
Follow this workout for a month, alternating Workout 1 and 2 three days a week and along with a healthy diet and a basketball session or two and you will start seeing some major results in overall strength and muscularity, not to mention fat loss. Forget the wrist curls and lateral raises and start hitting your whole body. With these exercises, you'll be hitting all the muscles that you would have with isolation exercises.
No need to do curls because heavy pull-ups will build your arms. No need for lateral raises because the push press will take care of your entire shoulder. You'll build a better body in half the time of a muscle magazine workout. Time is expensive so why waste it on actions that aren't going to give you the most bang for your buck. I doubt you would spend twice as much money for a car you could get for half the price elsewhere. Spend your time wisely and start seeing results! - 15255
