Time crunch workouts?



Recommended Posts

any ideas?

Due to a 1 hour and 20 minute commute each way, I am gone for 12 hours a day and have little to know time for exercise.

Anyone have any ideas for exercise in a time crunch?

Dear Sweetz:

I am a year post post band, and approaching 140 pounds lost. I would suggest that you consider access to a gym on your way home or right after work before you head home. That way your drive home is a recovery time. During that time you can alternate core/weights and then an ellyptical/treadmill on the other. I found that I was so tired when I got hoime it was hard, so I tried to hit a gym or walk/run right after work, and then head home.

If the gym is not an alternative, a stationary bike at home is great because you can read or watch tv and catch up on the day.

Last if non of those work, go to your local bookstore and purchase a book on core training workouts that you can do at home after work. There are numerous workout tapes also that are 30 minutes. But a 30 minute core workout really makes a difference.

Good luck,

Rob

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
