I’m not a big fitness buff, but my good buddy is. The other day we took a trip over to Philly. We check into the hotel and I drop down on one of the beds, tired from the trip, and flick the tv on. My buddy drops all his stuff in the corner, pops off his dress clothes, walks over to the wall and goes in to a handstand to do upside-down pushups. I was shocked. That just shows that no matter how busy you are, you can find time for fitness. 5-10 minutes later he was done and hopped in the shower.

Thanks for the motivation. Sometimes it’s just fun to be lazy but you are completely accurate - there is always time to workout.

I run a lot, and when I don’t have a lot of time I maximize my run but running hills. I don’t know if this is the best solution but it feels good.

Also, I’ve found moving my t.v. into the room where my weights are to be a good way to manage time. I usually end up lifting some weights while I watch quality shows. In the end I don’t feel guilty about watching t.v.

Being a single mom, it’s hard to find that extra time. I try to do some exercising while I’m doing household chores. Try vacuuming with a little extra vigor or calf raises as you’re doing the dishes. Picking up after little ones is a great way to squeeze in the ’squats’.. Pun intended

I think everyone training programs should revolve around these. I always squat, press, deadlift and powerclean- there is no better method to train. There is so much misleading information out there its ridiculous. People who really understand sports science know squatting 3x a week and eating like an animal is the best mass builder- period.

I’ve actually just finished writing an article called “why-programs-Don’t-Work!” it covers this subject widely and ovoids “fancy gimmicks”

And who thinks squatting is unsafe, read a little. A full range of motion squat is the best thing for knees.

Squats are awesome, your leg muscles burn more calories than any other muscles in your body.

Yeah, if you have a limited amount of time, using the big three (squats, bench press, and dead lift) can get you there in a hurry. Those are some excellent compound exercises. I’m really not a big fan of the dead lift or whatever. Bench Press and Squats will definitely hit the majority of your major muscle groups. Throw in some curls or pull-ups, and you’ll be all set.
