Life happens. In spite of all of our best intentions, we just are not always able to accomplish things as planned. That’s just life, but that is not just your excuse not to do the best with what you have available to you. The most important thing to the success of your health and fitness lifestyle is consistency. Metaphorically speaking, you can’t be up one day and down the next, that is, once you have committed to your health goals, you must move forward, faithful, loyal and true to what you have carefully planned and set out to do.

There will be those days when you can complete your full 45-minute to an hour exercise workout using your weight training equipment. Yet, I assure you that you will find more than a few occasions where something happens where you don’t have a complete hour to spare. You have, say, only 15 minutes. Is this a reason to skip, and just give yourself the lame excuse and escape of saying, “Oh, well, I will just make up for it next time.” No, that is not the approach nor the path to success.

Do A Partial Workout – Just Don’t Skip

A 15-minute well-planned alternative routine is far, far better than doing nothing at all. The preservation of your routine is overall far more important than the details of what you must do. Ordinary things consistently done produce extraordinary results.

What Is Your Emergency “Abridged” Workout?

If you have not already thought about it before, now is a great time to think about and plan an emergency “abridged” workout. The idea behind creating a shorter but just-as-effective routine is to be able to maintain your progress. Skipping always interferes and retards your progress.

My Emergency “Abridged” Workout

This is how I do it. If I can’t do a full 45-minute or an hour routine which is about the average time that I take for my progressive weight training exercises using my barbells and dumbbells, this is a simple sample but effective routine that will take me no more than 15 minutes.

• Chest and Shoulders (Barbell Bench Press: 3 sets of 12 reps – same weight)

• Back (Barbell Bent-Over Rows: 3 sets of 12 reps – same weight) I may use same weight as chest.

• Legs (Barbell Squats: 3 sets of 12 reps – same weight) I use a squat rack and same weight as the back.

• Biceps (Barbell Curls: 3 sets of 12 reps – same weight) Use a weight lighter than the back or chest.

• Triceps (Floor Push Ups: 3 sets of 12 reps – body weight)

And if I really had to, I would only do the Chest/Shoulders, Back and Legs exercises. There is a real good reason for this eclectic choice:

Select “Multiple Joint Exercises” As Your First Choice Whenever Necessary and Possible

A “multiple joint exercise” would be those such as: the Barbell Bench Press, the Barbell Leg Squats and the Barbell Bent-Over Rows. The significance of “multiple joint exercises” is that, they themselves, trigger muscular growth all throughout the body by healthfully stimulating the entire endocrine system of glands, in particular by triggering the production of more body-building testosterone. A little planning and with the right exercises done in just the right amounts can go a long, long way to your ultimate health and fitness success.
