How To Cut Your Workout Times In Half

Would you like to get great results from your workouts in less time?

If you're a busy executive like our clients, then here's 3 tips that can help you get more done in less time. 

My name is Andrew Marsham, I'm a qualified trainer and nutritionist and my High Performance health program has helped more than 1,200 executives in the last 6 years.

1. Don't rest between your warm up sets. You don't need rest, just take 30 seconds before your first working set.

As a side note, the first couple of exercises in your workout should have warm up sets to reduce injury risk and improve performance. 

2. Have a plan going in. Rather than wandering aimlessly or hoping you go in and have a good workout by accident create a clear structure so you can be laser focused when you are in the gym.

With the information available in today’s world, there is no excuse not to have a downloadable program, PDF or app based plan to follow.

3. Supersets - Using back to back sets with no rest on muscle groups that don't get in the way of each other can cut workout times in half. Biceps/triceps and chest/back are my 2 favourites.

Here are 2 of my favourite time efficient supersets :

- Rope Hammer curl for biceps superset with Rope tricep press downs 

- Incline DB chest press superset with Incline DB bench row 

Same piece of equipment in both cases you can hit them back to back with a few seconds in between to setup and catch your breath and we don't really see any negative effects on the results.

5 Things I Wish I Knew About Fat Loss 10 Years Ago 

I've made countless mistakes when it comes to fat loss. Avoid these and you’ll shortcut your progress by years, even decades.

• 1. Every “diet” works through 1 mechanism - A calorie deficit. Find one that suits you. Anything else is a waste of time. The confusing part is, that most work. It matters far more what you can stick to, than finding the “best” diet.
• 2. Eating “healthy” does not mean you will lose fat. Just have a look at the calorie info for avocado toast on a menu the next time you’re out for breakfast 🥑
• 3. Tracking your diet effectively for a few mins each day or following a plan and having clear targets will do more for fat loss than hours on the treadmill, never mind an extra 20 mins at the end of a workout.
• 4. Getting your activity levels up (more steps/walking) is probably the most underrated fat loss tool out there. Those who obsess over this get the best results.
• 5. You simply cannot out train a bad diet.

Our client Eric is a CFO and has an incredibly busy schedule that involves long hours and travel.

He came to us looking to become healthier and lose weight.

At 254 lbs, he was struggling to perform many everyday activities.

Keeping up with his children was becoming difficult and he was looking for some accountability, help with structuring his diet (both when travelling and at home), and also having a solid structured physical activity plan.

After 11 weeks, Eric has already lost 22 lbs and is now well under 240 lbs clocking in at 232 lbs!

He’d been struggling to do this on his own and failed on multiple occasions before.

We helped him achieve this by:

• - Building out a customised structured program that also complimented his existing CrossFit training.
• - Creating a plan to help keep Eric on track with his nutrition.
• - Coaching him on 1-1 calls via zoom by problem solving and setting goals

During the program Eric was also unexpectedly diagnosed with Gout and we identified the areas of diet and exercise that could both compromise and improve his performance.

Since making the changes Eric’s gout has improved and he is feeling and moving better.

He now has a fully structured health program that will continue to help him reach his long-term weight goal of 200lbs!

Because we provide a highly personalized solution when issues like this come up we are able to make dynamic changes to Eric's program on the day so he can keep moving forward.
