If you are like me you don’t have hours to workout every day. For the last year most of my strength workouts have lasted 40-60 minutes. Well I’ve decided to shave some of the time off by pushing myself a little harder in less time by using the clock for motivation. I feel like I get just as good (or better) workout because I’m working against the clock and pushing for a new personal best.
20 Minute Strength Workout
Warm up with 5 minutes of cardio.
Lunges – 15 each leg
Bent over rows – 12
Repeat as many times as possible in 10 minutes while keeping good form. Rest only as needed.
Rest 2 minutes.
Squats – 15
Push Ups - 10
Repeat at many times as possible in 10 minutes while keeping good form. Rest only as needed.
Write down how many sets your preform in your journal and try to do better the following week or next time you do the workout.
I posted this quote a few weeks ago but but like it so much I want to mention it again.
“The principle is competing against yourself. It’s about self improvement, about being better than you were the day before.” – Steve Young

Thanks for this. Like you, I find myself crunched for time but still want to get in some strength training. This sounds great and as always, am adding it to my C2L workout files
You’re welcome Michelle and as always thanks for stopping by!
Hi, was just trying to find a good quick all over body workout. Thanks for posting this. I think though the ‘upright row’ is actually a bent over row – an upright row is where you stand up and bring the barbell to your chin with a close grip.
Thanks for stopping by Mark and yes you are absolutely right. Thanks for pointing out my little mistake!!
