Another light-hearted post for the weekend, this time on keeping fit in a ridiculously small weekly time investment of just two 20-minute strength training session a week!
My gym workout routines for men…
Workout A
7-9 bench-press or very slow pushups
3 minutes rest
7-9 bent-over barbell rows
3 minutes rest
75-100 kettle bell swings
2-4 days rest
Workout B
10 squats (enough weight to fail on rep 10 or 11)
3-minutes rest
7-9 shoulder press
3-minutes rest
10 full-extension sit-ups (revisit site for video shortly)
Remember to to every rep to complete exhaustion, and this routine is not only for men, it works just fine for women too.
When I read about this in Tim Ferriss’ book, The 4 Hour Body, I didn’t believe the claims. However like every book I read, I was reading like my life depends on it and I followed the advice to the letter to see how it worked for me.
Well I doubled my strength in 6 weeks by following the advice in the book. Can I suggest you grab the book, read the first chapter, the chapter on “Subtracting Fat”, and “Getting Stronger”.
Once you’ve done that come back here, comment, and I will support you.
my husband needs this…thanks for sharing!
You are very welcome, let me know if he would like more detail.
Thank you
Your “kettle bell swings” link doesn’t work.
Thanks so much for pointing this out, I have removed the link.
