Short on Time?

It's another one of those days...maybe its Thursday and you are going out to a business dinner or its Friday and you are going to meet friends for some after work drinks. You sit there at your desk and have this mental battle, "I know I should really try to get a training session in today, but its 4:30pm on Friday and I don't want to go through the whole procedure of going to the gym, warming up, setting things up, training for 40-50 minutes, showering and then heading out." So you decide to forgo the workout and then beat yourself up either that night or the next day when you are saying, "Man, I really wish I got in the gym yesterday." Well here is your solution:

For starters, if you aren't already, keep a set of workout clothes in your car so you can never use that as an excuse. Next, get yourself into the gym for a quick workout that will have you in and out in 18 minutes or less. Here it is:

Bench Jumps x 3(with two feet spring up onto a bench, then step down)
Pullups x 3 (any grip you want, if you cant do real ones, do assisted ones on the machine)
Bodyweight Bulgarian Split Squat x 3 each leg

Set a stop watch or ipod or cell phone for 15 minutes and try to keep moving for 15 minutes. Work hard then play hard.



Best,

PS. As always use YouTube for any video demonstrations you need.
