30 minute all round workout

gazwheat

Hi guys,
I currently train every weekday morning before work but my gym doesn't open until 7am so I only have 30 mins maximum to train. I normally alternate days between eliptical and treadmill but would like to include an all round workout using free weights or machines. Has anyone got any ideas pleas?

Hello,
If you aren't opposed to DVD's, Jillian Michaels Ripped in 30, is a good workout, it has 3 minutes of strength, 2minutes of cardio and 1 minute of abs, and then you repeat. There are 4 weeks, and each workout ends up being about 20 minutes. I have started seeing a difference after doing this video. Good luck.

you can also try adding things like push-ups, planks, pull up / chin ups, squats, deadlifts to work multiple groups at the same time while reducing the length of your workout

Try one or two rounds of this:

Basic overview:

20 body weight squats
10 push ups
20 walking lunges
10 dumbbell rows (using a gallon milk jug)
15 second plank
30 Jumping Jacks

I bump my planks up to 30 seconds at least.
