In today's fast-paced world, finding time to exercise can be challenging. However, efficient gym workouts can help you maximize your fitness routine without sacrificing your valuable time. Fitness First offers a range of workout options perfect for quick sessions including small group training, grit cardio. Check out our class timetable to find out which 30-minute classes are available near you. These 30-minute training sessions are designed to get you in and out of the gym quickly while still providing a challenging and effective workout.
EMOM workouts are another time-efficient training option. Choose six exercises and assign a specific number of reps to each. At the start of every minute, perform the assigned reps for one exercise and rest for the remainder of the minute. Rotate through the exercises for a total of 30 minutes. This workout format keeps you moving and ensures that you're making the most of your limited gym time.
Super sets involve performing two exercises back-to-back with little to no rest in between, while giant sets involve three or more exercises performed consecutively. Choose exercises that target opposing muscle groups (e.g., chest and back, biceps and triceps, or quadriceps and hamstrings) and perform three to four sets of each superset or giant set. This approach allows you to efficiently work multiple muscle groups in a short amount of time.
If you're pressed for time but still want to get in a solid workout, try a quick cardio and core blast. Begin with a 15-minute cardio session of your choice (treadmill, elliptical, or stationary bike), focusing on maintaining a moderate to high intensity. Fitness First clubs offer a range of cardio equipment from Treadmills to Rowers.
After completing the cardio portion, transition to a 15-minute core workout. Choose five core exercises (e.g., planks, Russian twists, bicycle crunches, leg raises, and mountain climbers) and perform each for one minute, followed by a 30-second rest. Repeat the entire core circuit twice for a total of 30 minutes, effectively targeting your cardiovascular system and core muscles in a short and efficient workout.
