For most people, exercise is part of their lifestyle. No matter how busy they are, they won’t skip working out. They have a separate time of 1 – 2 hours just for working out.

But for people who are very busy, the reason they never start is that they cannot commit their time because they hesitate to travel for 1-2 hours just to go to the gym and workout. So, here are a few ways you can incorporate working out in your daily lifestyle.

First of all, we all need to understand that working out doesn’t mean going to the gym for a whole 6 – 7 days and doing exercise for 1 – 2 hours daily. This is just a part of the workout. So, people who are very busy can good results by going to the gym just 2 times a week with 2 – 3 days’ rest in between and do full-body workouts. Full body workout contains exercises for the chest, back, shoulders, legs, biceps and triceps. Do a single exercise for each part with 2 or 3 sets and try to train intense without using your mobile phones or talking with others so that you can focus on your workout and finish it on 30 minutes. This will save a lot of time.

Since you’re are not doing a lot of sets, you need to keep the intensity high just to balance it so that you get better results even after doing fewer workouts.

After doing this for 2 days, you can go to walk or do some sort of cardio for the next few days whether it’s cycling, skipping, jogging or walking just for 20 – 30 minutes a day. It is very important to take care of your heart and lungs and cardio helps in the proper functioning of your heart and lungs too.

And, you can just do home workouts and circuits for the next remaining days. A circuit is a quick training combining with bodyweight workouts. It is a hybrid program for strength as well as cardio. (So, the first routine is all about strength and the second one is for cardio and this is the combination of both). What you can do is, select 4 or 5 exercises and do each exercise for 20 seconds with 10 seconds of rest.

For example, you can select exercises like pushups, bodyweight squats, crunches and lunges. Then, you do pushups as many reps as you can for 20 seconds and after 10 seconds rest you do bodyweight squats and do rest of the exercise likewise for a total of 10 minutes.

“10 minutes?” It sounds like very less workout but if you try this and do it the same way I told you, then trust me, it will be very intense for you and you can actually see good results with it.

So, in this way you can train for 5 – 6 days a week by alternating between strength, cardio and hybrid programs in your day and you will see amazing results without having to spend a lot of time in the gym.
