i don't think people with no time to exercise has the luxury to focus on specific parts of the body. if i'm such person, i'd buy a skipping rope, a pull-up bar and just do some bodyweight exercises + skipping (cardio) in my room every morning/before bed.

Sprinting.
High intensity workouts is the best if you have limited time. And sprinting doesnt require any special equipments or facility to do. Just get a decent pair of shoes and you're good to go. It's a full-body workout, burns a lot of fat and it puts your body on a high metabolic rate so you continue to burn calories even after youre done. Recently i started taking public transport to work which give me the opportunity to run a little while commuting to and from work. Can sprint up and down stairs on train/mrt station as well. Its nice since its 2 in 1 both exercise as well as a necessary part of everyday life so no need to find a specific time to dedicate to just exercise. I dont usually have the time (or motivation) to dedicate on exercise otherwise. |

QUOTE(DeAct @ Jan 17 2018, 08:04 PM) Compound movements. My pick would be Deadlifts. every aspect is important If health is what you're after, realise that exercise is just part of the equation. Other aspects of your life are equally important; social connection, rest, exercise, diet etc. You won't get a healthy body by hitting the gym and eating right if you lack rest. Everyone is hoping for a magic pill can give them their health back. Someone mentioned in this forum before that supplements are called supplements for a reason. I agree with that statement completely. It might, but only if you first get your diet(macros) in order. Heck, there isn't much journals to support health improvements from Dietary Intake of many vitamins and minerals. My background is food science. I can tell you that you have to be careful of what you put inside your mouth and realise what it might do to your body in the long run. If you don't believe me, go look up how collagen(gelatine) is processed. There's good news though, you don't have to get everything right all at once. Any improvements to one aspect of your life eventually carries over (overflows) to other areas of your life; momentum. Thus, change isn't as hard as we might think. You'll be more inclined to gravitate towards a healthier you. The trick however, is to make it part of our lives. Practise and patience is what we all need. Not crash diets and definitely don't cut out meat from your diet if you have no idea what you're doing. TLDR; There's more to health than just exercising. Supplements aren't magic pills. Don't turn into a vegan/vegetarian after reading this post. DeAct |

QUOTE(normal human @ Jan 16 2018, 09:40 PM) Hi,Have you heard of Freeletics? The exercises are many and mainly body weight exercises you can do with little to almost no equipment. All you really need is a small space to do the exercises and perhaps a yoga mat as a surface to do the exercises on. You can check it out here: https://www.freeletics.com/en You don't have to sign up, just youtube or google 'freeletics routine' and I'm quite sure there will be more than a few results showing beginner to intermediate routines. Also, need to watch your diet as well unless your metabolic rate is high and you burn calories easily hehe. All the best! |

QUOTE(internaldisputes @ Jan 17 2018, 02:00 PM) i think it depends on individual. my routine now is to go to the gym at around 10pm and works out til 12am when the gym closes. i'll take a quick shower once i reach home and jump on bed to sleep afterwards. What kind of workout you do in gym on 10pm?I will run at least 2 times per week and each time is 90 minutes (around 12km). I usually finished my run around 9pm to 10pm and I can't sleep after that. I guess is due to the endorphin level of my body is high as well as metabolism rate. I can only sleep around 1am. You just can sleep naturally after workout? |

Just find ways to incorporate movement and exercise into your work life.
Stairs instead of lift, park further and walk. Stand instead of seat etc etc. |

All you need is 3 hours in a week. 1 hour in gym, upper lower split, 3 days a week. The rest of your waking time focus on what you eat how you sleep.

aim for a sustainable eating habit (yes to portion control and sensible choices, no to a stop-start diet) and sustainable physical activity (which you can do with limited equipment and time and fit with your life schedule)

It will work for a short period before you go crazy. Work your food plan according to your life style. This is a very personal thing. If your job requires you to drink, save some calories quota for the drink, the rest eat as well as you can. If you cannot live without snacks, why cut it out 100% when you can have 10 to 20g a day just to cure the craving, or just save 1 bag of 70g chips till the end of the week as a reward for your hard weekday work.
