One of our favorite phrases today is: "I'm too busy......." (sometimes used as an excuse). I don't have time to waste, so my workouts don't exceed 1 hour. I can get my workout finished in 45 minutes if I need to (with circuit weight training and interval cardio).
To take advantage of your limited workout time, you should strive to build more lean muscle mass. Doing so will speed up your metabolism and burn more fat. To recruit more muscle fibers during workouts and improve your success, focus more on MULTI-JOINT EXERCISES. MULTI-JOINT EXERCISES will help you burn more fat because you are working more muscles in your body. For example, the largest muscle in the body is the gluteus maximus and squats/lunges would target this area (among other areas). You will also burn more calories after your workout. Examples of other MULTI-JOINT EXERCISES are bench press, shoulder press, deadlift and seated row.
Examples of SINGLE-JOINT EXERCISES are biceps curl, seated calf raise, leg extension, leg curl and triceps pushdowns. Spend less of your time on these exercises.
Have a great workout today!
