I've started turning work down to train more... simply because at 46 I've sacrificed so much for work over social life... money is important but so is living your life.... thanks for the podcasts guy's 🙌
I'm starting to workout and this idea of '30mins of something is better than nothing' is really helping me develop the discipline of working out at least 3 days/wk. I just keep in mind that I waste this time scrolling social media while in the bathroom, lol
A personal note aside from this video... I've been using prime/prime pro the last few weeks and I can't believe how limber and strong I feel.. I'm a cop that sits in a car most of the day, and I'm way less stiff. I'm definitely gonna get my 74 year old parents to do a lot of these exercises.
Every day feels better when listening to you guys. You really give sense to the quote "give and you shall receive" ...I always learn something new or reaffirm something I already knew and have fun with it, very nice mix of education and entertainment :) Thank you and hoping for your HIIT giveaway
Thanks for the great content. Your podcasts never fail to educate me. I literally can see the progress in my workouts and I should thank you guys for that. And... wow! 1700episodes!
As I am starting a new job, this is exactly what I needed. I will be very short on time for a few weeks with traveling and all so I am trying to squeeze workouts, so the shortest the better
Yessss! This is just what I needed to hear. I’m a full time working mom and can’t dedicate too much time to fitness. Shorts workouts every day is MUCH more sustainable for me. Glad to hear y’all approve! Bless you guys!
My girlfriend hated going to the gym, made her watch your podcast and other channel and now she loves it and all she say is well “Adam and sal said this or that”
This has been one of my favorite videos so far, you talk about much more valuable strategies than what the title might indicate. As a new trainer and experienced fitness fanatic I am automatically drawn to give people the lazy speech if there #1 complaint is time but it will never work long term Thank you!
Appreciated the details you gave about not replacing workouts with HIIT as a routine workout.....many need to hear this message!! So painful to get this through to individuals....your explanation was helpful.
As also, love the content and another very relevant topic. Regardless of how dedicated you are Sal hit the nail on the head when he said, "Annnddd then I had kids." Staying consistent is my biggest struggle since having our now 3 year old. Thank you guys for your continuous information and encouragement to many of us facing the same struggles.
Hey that’s what I am doing 30 to 40 min 3days a week. And it’s working great for me . 1hr is too much for me. I ‘m 59 and have MS and I mostly do free weights and resistance bands. Love it! Used to cardio of all kinds, hated it and when ms hit me I can’t run on a treadmill. I can run at all. My balance is whacked. Back in the day way before MS used to do weight lifting via tv show with Cory Everson . Loved it but life happened and her show went bye bye. And I stopped doing it after moving. Anyway never to old to lift some weights and feel good! Thanks gentlemen for the show. I learn and enjoy!!!
I don’t know if it works or not… but I love putting an EMOM timer on and starting with 1 rep. Then 2. Then 3. Then 4..5..6..7..8. Ten minutes gets you 55 reps. Super set it and in 20 minutes you 55 reps on two exercises.
Absolutely guilty of the all or nothing mindset. I'd be curious to know how the Business Man Bundle fits into this conversation. Thanks for the episode!
snatch grip deads, muscle snatch, power snatch, power clean, push press,…. 5 sets of doubles of each, RPE 6-7… then 3 sets of dips to failure….best 30 minutes of your life
Another terrific podcast guys ! 30 minute workouts have their place especially when short on time, or a beginner client, to practice form, etc. Progression, intensity, exercise modalities should be considered when planning these shorter workouts.
When I first became a NASM CPT and PES, I had tunnel vision on only doing 60 min sessions. But now all these years later I only do 30 min exclusively. Most clients are average people who want relative strength, general fitness, and fat/weight loss. You don't need 60 min workouts for this. You also maximize your schedule and financials. You're training double the clients, clearing more per hour, and basically every client is 3x per week. Not many people can claim they don't have 90 min to spare out of a 168hr week.
I'm 5'-10", 187lbs @ 17% BF, and have a pretty muscular bodybuilder physique that took 15+ years to develop. As I've gotten older, have young kids, started my own business, ect., I've found I need to spend less time in my home gym. Right now, I'm doing full-body workouts 3-days/week and do 15-min jump rope cardio workouts some of my days off. The heavy jump ropes really work my muscles, so I feel my muscles are getting stimulated almost every day. My goal now is to get my weight training to be 45-60-min rather than 1.5 to 2 hours. I've never done a basic workout with mainly compound lifts, but I am willing to get it a try. I wish I could maintain my muscle mass with 30-min circuit workouts. I really enjoy those!
Finishing anabolic and can’t decide if I should recycle thru the program or do performance or HIIT . Tough call when you know both are going to be awesome programs !!!
Firstly, your content is very informative and helpful... I usually perform a 30-45 mints workout 3 day in week and this what I do, I perform only 3 compound exercise out of 5 basic exercise with heavy weight and keeps it simple.
For my HIIT, I am similar to Sal, I take one movement with a barbell, one movement with a set of dumbbells, one movement with kettlebells, and one movement with bodyweight. Set the timer to 30 min and go. Challenging myself through progressive loading or rep count within that time domain.
This is so true. Started with weight lifting at the gym with machines and dumbbells going nice and heavy. Switched to home workouts and boom joints all over my body were letting me know to lighten up the load or they will make me😩🥺 I learned real quick to check my ego at the door. 💪🏾
Hi guys, thanks for this! I do the following workouts at home with a barbell. I have two ways of doing it; I do one exercise after another or 4 rounds of one excercise and then I move to the other excercise. So what I do is the following; work for 30 sec and rest for 30 sec. The exercises are; Pull ups, back squat, overhead press, barbell row, death lift and bench press. I do this 3 / 4 times a week. Would love some feedback on this.
I love mixing in HIIT workout. I was a former wrestler and it really is the closest I can get in equivalent intensity to a wrestling practice. Your guys show is awesome would be great to win this maps program to add to my collection already have anabolic and performance.
Fascinating stuff. I hear hear some bodybuilders at my gym bragging about doing 2+ hr sessions. I guess it works for them but personally I like 45-60 min workouts.
Can absolutely relate to Justin when he said you do a few reps go do something and come back thats how I get my house clean and a small workout in haha 😄

When you guys say, "Master one movement", how would you do that in a 30 minute workout? Do you do sets of squats using light weights focused on form and then one or two heavy sets to end. Would you do exercises focusing on each part for the 30 minutes? Examples- air squats to warm up, to seated squats, to half squats starting from the top, to light weight or bar only to start in the bottom part of the squat and go half way up. What would a one compound exercise 30 minute work out look like?
If it's a mom, they should work out at the playground while the kids are playing. I'm a nanny. I do it all the time. The kids love playing on my pull up bands and get really annoyed when it's time for me to do a set real quick and they have to get off. They bounce up and down on them. They are boys 5 and 9, homeschooled. When I work out off the clock, three time strategies I have are: circuit training, bring lunch and eat between sets and do laundry and fold it at the laundromat 2 blocks from the calisthenics park. In the winter I'll be doing barbell work outs at home, so I'll do things like dishes in between sets. I also do longer work outs when I have more time and just bare minimum when I'm pressed for time.
Hey Sal I’ve got a question for you. I’ve been tying to help my family get back in shape. My brother-in-law was in a 3 month coma, due to Covid-19 about a 1.5 years ago. He has a sensitivity in his foot, that doctors think it’s from how long his body was lying in the hospital. My question is have you begun to get clients with Covid side effects yet? They say no one really knows the side effect with Covid-19, have you heard of any cases or studies with more information? F.Y.I. His sensitivity makes it difficult for him to stand to long, so I had him try yoga, and water work outs.A few laps in a spaced out 3 hour period, to build him up with out pushing him too hard. Any information helps. Thanks.
I’m presently doing a three day full body workout and making good gains. My problem is the dieting portion of training. Horrible. Can’t seem to stay on plan. Help!
Take him away please. Justin Andrew’s, immediately. And today’s Adam. It is known who. Not Douglas. And give a restraining order too. For all that apply.
