Growth is important physically, cognitively and spiritually. Here are some great workout ideas when time is short, changing rep and set time, sequence, etc. Enjoy the variety.

  • Basic circuits, combination of high-intensity aerobics and resistance training designed to be easy to follow
  • Descending sets, beginning with a lower rep weight and moving to a higher rep weight with little or no rest
  • High intensity sets
  • Interval training, repetitions of high-speed/ intensity work followed by periods of rest or low activity
  • Pyramiding, doing first set with light weight for more reps, increasing the weight and finally decreasing the reps again
  • Same day AM/PM workouts
  • Sequences sets, adding one exercise every circuit without a rest period; up to 10 circuits
  • Shortened rest period, reducing or eliminating the rest period
  • Split system, split the body parts into two or three sessions and work out two or three times per week
  • Supersets, alternating two exercises for the same muscle group, taking as little rest as possible between each set
