Your Quick On-The-Go Holiday Workout

Your Quick On-The-Go Holiday Workout

As you gear up for the coming holiday season, time is something that you’ll likely be running a bit short on.  With so many things going on around you, it can be trying to find the time and energy to hit the gym on a regular basis.  As such, how will you ever fend off the typical holiday weight gain that so many people experience at this time?

The key secret to keeping yourself in check this coming holiday season is to have a good on-the-go workout figured out. This workout will allow you to get in and out of the gym in record time so that you can go about your day without having to sacrifice your fitness level.

Let’s have a quick peak at what you should know about creating an on-the-go holiday workout.

Superset Exercises

The best tip to shorten the duration of any workout program is to use superset or trisets.  This is where you’re going to pair two exercises immediately back to back, one right after another.  This saves the rest period that would normally take place between them and will also increase your heart rate better throughout the workout as well.

Use Compound Movements

Next, also be sure that you’re using compound movements.  Compound movements are those that are going to work more than one muscle group at once, giving you a better metabolic response from the session and cutting back on how many exercises you have to complete with each workout that you do.

Perfect compound moves to include are the push-up, bench press, squat, lunge, step-up, deadlift, split squat, shoulder press, bent over row, pull down, pull-up, and plank. Make sure that you are using these over isolated exercises at all times.

Use A Full Body Approach

Finally, since time is of the essence not only during the actual time period you spend in the gym but also in terms of how frequently you are able to get into the gym each week, go with a full body approach rather than a split body approach instead.

A full body approach means that you really only need to get into the gym two to three times per week, leaving you plenty of days to take care of other things that you have to get done.

A full body approach is also going to really help you torch calories quickly as well, further making it easier to maintain your body weight this coming holiday season.

Let’s have a quick peak at a sample full body workout for you to consider.  This should really only take about 20-30 minutes in the gym and you will only need to rest for about 30 seconds or so between each set.

Triset 1:

Push-ups – 15 reps
Squats – 12 reps
Bent Over row – 10 reps

Triset 2:

Pull-Ups – 10-15 reps
Lunges – 12 reps
Shoulder Press – 10 reps

Superset 3:

Step-Ups – 15 reps
Lying leg raises – 15 reps

Superset 4:

Deadlifts – 15 reps
Lat Pull-downs – 15 reps

So make sure that you don’t stress out over your workouts this holiday season.  Instead, be smart and use these strategies instead.  To get additional help maintaining your weight during the holiday season or maybe even losing a few pounds, check out Phen 375.
