Best Workouts to Save Time

December 27, 2008

Do you find that there is not enough time in your day to squeeze in a workout? Maybe you make it to the gym but still don’t get in all of the exercises that made you feel as though your workout was complete.

By doing the right exercises, you can actually cover more than one area at a time and decrease not only the amount of exercises that you need to do but also the amount of time that is needed to workout. You can actually even do them at home.

To attack the upper abs and the oblique’s at the same time, kneeling three way cable crunches are excellent. This is for intermediate to advanced routines and should be done in 8 repetitions. Another great workout for your upper abs and oblique’s is the Russian Twist. This is a basic sit up with your arms straight out in front you sitting at a 45 degree angle. You want to twist to the left and then to the right with a slight pause in between. This should be done with 10 repetitions to both sides. This is also an intermediate to advanced exercise.

Another intermediate to advanced exercise is the V-spread toe touch. This is for the upper abs and oblique’s and should be done in 10 repetitions. Be sure to keep your back flat on the floor and each time that you raise, you should be reaching for the opposite foot.

Two great ones for your lower abs and your oblique’s are the corkscrew and double crunch. The corkscrew is for intermediate to advanced but the double crunch is for advanced only. Keep good posture with your back to the floor.

Make sure that you warm up and stretch before doing these or any exercises and well as stretch and cool down at the end. Proper eating habits and plenty of sleep will also help you to get big and strong. These few exercises will help to shed the fat and show the muscle that you are working so hard for.
Stay strong and live well.
