TOMORROW, I START MY NEW JOB, WHICH MEANS I’LL BE BACK ON A 9-5 SCHEDULE. BECAUSE OF THIS, I WAS TRYING TO FIGURE OUT THE BEST WAY TO GET A QUICK AND EFFECTIVE WORKOUT. NORMALLY, MY WORKOUTS ARE AROUND AN HOUR AND A HALF (INCLUDING 30 MINUTES OF CARDIO) AND I WOULD LIKE TO CUT THEM TO AN HOUR WITHOUT CUTTING MY STRENGTH TRAINING.

HIGH-INTENSITY, SHORT-DURATION WORKOUTS WITH COMPOUND EXERCISES

Examples of Upper Body Compound Exercises:
Pushups
Pullups/Chinups
Standing Military Press
Dips
Clean & Press
Examples of Lower Body Compound Exercises:
Squats
Deadlifts
Lunges
Hip Thrusts
Sled Pushing/Pulling
