I recently read an article that mentioned recent studies showing you can get a decent workout by doing one set (10-12 reps to exhaustion). What time I have to exercise, I'd rather be in the water, but I can easily spare 5 minutes on my way out the door to hit some of the muscle groups in the weight room. Any one have suggestions for super fast workouts? Thanks.
If you are totally serious about only 5 minutes, do pull ups to failure, wait 2 minutes, push ups to failure, go right to lunges to failure each leg, lay on back and do 100 leg lifts and 50 crunches.....done. Add dumbells to the lunges as necessary. Maybe add dumbell good mornings and make it a 10 minute workout.
