A lot of us here are faced with having to train in tight time windows. Whether that be because of kids, business, or whatever, it puts us in a situation where we have to make the decision to go DEEP or WIDE with whatever workout we do. In other words we can go DEEP into a single body part or single movement, doing just that for the 10-15 minutes that we have to train…Or we can go WIDE with a more well rounded total body approach.
Me personally, I’m big on avoiding the creation of imbalances, so I always urge my clients who consistently face these time availability conundrums to go WIDE and train total body. Not only does it have the tendency to help you avoid creating muscle imbalances, but it also helps to make you move more synergistically given the nature of total body movements that I advocate for WITH these types of workouts. Here’s a great example of one that I just shared on YouTube.
