Over the last year, my workout routine has changed drastically from what I would do when I owned my own gym. Circumstances like training equipment, available time, and energy created hurdles. However, I didn’t allow these changes to dissuade me of my foundation and my goal; remain fit and pain free. I have been amazed at how little training I have needed in order to have the aesthetic I desire while still having fun and keeping my priorities in order like my family and work.
Just to get an idea of little training I have been doing, here is a sample week of training:

100 Walking Lunges
Sunday-
AMRAP 20min (alternating movements):
12 KB Push Press (24kg/hand)
12 Cals Row
12 Ring Rows
As you can see, I am training at most 2.5 hours in the entire week. This includes my warm-ups as well. To reduce the time it takes for me to prep for my workouts I choose movements that aren’t going to need as much prep time and I prioritize two or three movements in my warm-up in order to be ready. Though my training time is tight, I am 100% consistent. 4 times per week. No excuses. Something is better than nothing…always.
One last thing to mention is even though my workouts are important, my diet has also been consistent as well. No processed foods, no sugar, and 95% whole foods (more on this in another post).
