The 2 Best Exercises

Q: If you are short on time but still want to get in a good workout. What should you do?

A: Well definitely do not skip a workout. Even if you only have 10-15 min. you can still get in a great workout with these two exercises. The Barbell Squat and Pull-Up. With these two exercise you will work just about every muscle in your body. If you cannot do a pull-up use rubberbands to assist you or perform an inverted row. And no the Smith Squat and DB Squat do not count as a squat.

With just these two exercises you can create many different workouts. The Pull-Up has many variations and all of them are great and you can either do a Barbell Back Squat or Barbell Front Squat.

Here is a sample of a Challenging 10 min. workout.

Warm-up: Jumping Jacks 2 x25 (rest 10 seconds in between the two sets)

Pull-Up as many as possible
BB Back Squat 8 reps
Rest 30 seconds
L Pull-Up as many as possible
BB Front Squat 8 reps
Rest 30 seconds
Pull-Up as many as possible
BB Back Squat as many as possible

*only rest where I have specified.

Done!! Short and Sweet.

Let me know what you think.
