Time-Saving Gym Tips For Working Dads

on

As a working father, I know finding time to work out can be challenging. However, there are several ways to make the most of your time and stay consistent to get the results you’re after. Here are some tips to help you save time at the gym:

 

  1. Plan your workouts: Before heading to the gym, plan your workout routine in advance. This will help you stay focused and avoid wasting time deciding what exercises to do.  

 

  1. Use compound exercises: Compound exercises, such as squats and deadlifts, work multiple muscle groups at once, which can help you save time at the gym. 

 

  1. Superset your exercises: Supersets involve performing two exercises back-to-back with no rest in between. This can help you save time and increase the intensity of your workout. 

 

  1. Limit your rest periods: Rest periods are important, but they can also be a time sink. Try to limit your rest periods to 30-60 seconds to save time. 

 

  1. Incorporate cardio into your weight training: Instead of doing separate cardio and weight training sessions, try incorporating cardio into your weight training routine. For example, you could do a set of squats followed by a minute of jumping jacks. 

 

  1. Use your lunch break: If you have a busy schedule, consider using your lunch break to work out. This can help you save time and stay active during the day. 

 

  1. Try high-intensity interval training (HIIT): HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by periods of rest. This can help you burn more calories in less time. 

 

  1. Keep your workouts short: You don’t need to spend hours at the gym to get a good workout. Aim for 20-30 minutes of high-intensity exercise to save time. 


Remember, the key to saving time at the gym is to stay focused on your why and your goals and make the most of your time. With these tips, you can stay fit and healthy even with a busy schedule.  If you’re looking for an online fitness coach to walk with you through your fitness journey, check out my site at https://www.jumpersfitness.org or shoot me an email bradley@jumpersfitness.org Thanks for reading and hope this helps!
