What are some minimalist exercises that do not require more than 45 minutes?

Question

Would anyone be kind enough to recommend some minimalistic workouts that do not take longer than 45 minutes each stage?

Answer 1

Sure, there are some minimalistic workouts and training that can be completed in less than 45 minutes. Such workouts can consist of compound exercises which allow for more than one primary muscle group or joint to be worked, making exercise time efficient and beneficial. For instance, thin belt treadmill walking coupled with dynamic stretching routines could be followed by flat dumbbell press, dumbbell Romanian deadlift, two-grip lat pulldown, standing dumbbell step, overhead cable tricep press, machine lateral raises and horizontal donkey toe press for calves. Each of the above exercises can be performed in two sets of unusual repetitious focusing on strength and size hypertrophy.

This is every working dad's workout! Nearly 50, full-time job and 2 very active middle schoolers. I don't want to miss any of their activities, but I need to keep moving. Just what I needed. Thanks!

I'm a beginner lifter, 40 y.o. and limited by family life. This is almost the exact program I've been following for 3-4 months with some really exciting variation. Just what I needed to boost my failing enthusiasm and give a confidence boost. Awesome

Man, this is brilliant. I don't have kids nor work a gazillion hours a week, but still don't want to stay 2 hours in the gym doing 20 sets/muscle. Thank you so much.

You are the only one who understood the masses. The students, officers and others who can't afford to have a 3hr workout. Love your work. Keep it up!!! ❤❤❤

As a busy working dad with 2 jobs, this is just what I needed. Thanks.

A lot of us dads with full time jobs and small children absolutely love these!

Yes! I got my dad to preorder this program. I've been trying to get him to lift so he doesn't waste away as he ages. I even bought him the full spectrum of equipment (smith machine, weights, bench, dumbbells, etc). Can't wait for him to get started and see how good it feels to get stronger and feel better!
