How to Design Your Own Simple Workout: Easy Workout Ideas

I hear from people all the time that they don't have time to workout, much less design their own simple workout program.  We all know that achieving our goals really is a matter of prioritizing. 

If you aren't exercising regularly, you simply aren't putting fitness high enough on your list of priorities. It happens to all of us.  The best thing to do if you find your exercise commitment slipping is to recognize the problem (which you are obviously doing now,) and then renew your commitment by reminding yourself of why you wanted to get fit in the first place. 

Designing your own simple workout and exercise regimen is not complicated, really.  Let's say you're a beginner and your goal is to do cardio three times a week and strength training three times a week.

For cardio - you could pick three different activities, or choose the same activity but switch up the methodology.  For example, if you jog for your cardio, one day you could do a tempo jog for 30 minutes, one day you could do sprints, and one day you could do a slow, steady hour jog.

Strength training plans are just as easy to whip together, even when you have very little planning or prep time. 

1.  Select the muscles you want to target      
2.  Choose 1 to 3 exercises per muscle group (preferably compound moves)
3.  Perform them back to back in superset form
4.  Repeat in rounds (generally 2 to 4 rounds, or as long as time allows.)

So here's a quick example following the above method:

1.  Legs, shoulders, abs
2.  Legs - squats, lunges.
Shoulders - overhead press, upright rows.
Abs - lower crunches, bicycle crunches.
3.  Superset one: 20 squats, 15 overhead presses, 30 lower crunches.
Superset two:  10 lunges, 15 upright rows, 30 bicycle crunches.
4.  Repeat each superset 3 times.

I try keeping a set of exercise bands in the car or with me when I travel, so I'm never without resistance options for a simple workout off the cuff.  I also keep a jump rope with me for effective cardio where ever I go.  If I only have 10 minutes to get a little exercise in, the jump rope is a lifesaver.  A little prep goes a long way.

Of course, if you’re the type of person who prefers to have a coach doing the entire workout planning for you and helping you take it up a notch, I can help you with that, too. 

Remember, procrastination kills and makes us fat and lazy. Your chosen exercise methods aren’t that important -  Just get moving!

Here are a bunch of workouts to try. Remember to suit them to your specific needs. Some of them use bands (I love the convenience of these), some use free weights, some are body weight routines, and some are traditional gym workouts. I'm always hunting new ways to spice it up, so there are pointers and tips for each workout. Have fun!

Design your own simple training: easy Workout ideas

I hear from people all the time that they don't have time to train, much less design their own simple workout program.  We all know that really achieving our goals is a matter of priority.

If you are not exercising regularly, you just am not high enough on your list of priorities put fitness. It happens to all of us.  The best thing to do if you find your exercise is to recognize the problem bet slip (which you obviously does now), and then renew your commitment by reminding yourself of why you wanted to get fit in the first place.

Design your own simple workout and exercise regime is not really complicated.  Suppose you are a beginner and your goal is to do cardio three times a week and strength training three times per week.

For cardio -you could choose from three different activities, or choose the same activity but switch of the methodology.  For example, if you jog for your cardio, jogging a day you could do a jogging pace for 30 minutes, you could do one day sprints, and one day you could do a slow, steady hours.

Strength training plans are just as easy to whip together, even when you have little planning or prep time.

1. Select the muscles that you want to target
2. choose 1 to 3 exercises per muscle group (preferably compound movements)
3. run them back to back in superset form
4. repeat in rounds (generally 2 to 4 rounds, or as long as time allows.)

So here is a quick example after the above method:

1. Legs, shoulders, abs
2. legs-squats, lunges.
Shoulders-overhead press, upright rows.
Lower ABS crunches, bicycle crunches.
3. a: 20 squats, overhead presses Superset 15, 30 lower crunches.
Superset two: 10 lunges, 15 upright rows, 30 bicycle crunches.
4. repeat each superset 3 times.

I try to keep a set of exercise bands or in the car with me when I travel, so I never without resistance the cuff a simple training options.  I also keep a skipping rope with me for effective cardio where ever I go.  If I only have a little exercise in 10 minutes, the jump rope is a lifesaver.  A little prep goes a long way.

Of course, if you're the type of person who prefers to have a coach who the entire training schedule for you and help you take it up a notch, I can help you with that too.

Here is a bunch of workouts to try. Remember to customize them to your specific needs. Some of them use tires (I love the convenience of this), some use free weights, some are body weight routines and some are traditional gym workouts.
