Improve your fitness results in the same amount of time

By: Marcus Martinez.

In order to see great results, you have to use your time efficiently. If your goal is to get leaner and lose fat, why waste time on wrist curls? You want to spend your time on exercises that will yield the highest results.
Kettlebells can provide time-efficient exercises. Anyone who has used one can attest to the limited amount of time it takes to make you sweat. Workouts like the swing, clean, and snatch can get you into shape fast. It could take as little as 10 minutes a day to start.
Don't get hyped up into the muscle magazine culture that tells you that you need to split your workout into each body part. If you don't have access to kettlebells, do full body exercises such as Deadlifts, Squats, Bench press, Pull-ups and Dips. Get started on these exercises with heavy weights and you'll not only see your body change aesthetically, but you'll also be stronger and perform better.
Below is a full body workout I used for awhile that gave me great results. The key is heavy weights. Obviously, don't go overboard, but with a weight that's heavier than you're used to will burn more calories and increase your strength tremendously.
Workout 1
1a: Deadlift (5x5)
B1: Weighted Pull up-3 sets of 5 reps
2-2: Weighted Dip 3x5
3-1: Hanging Leg Raise 3x10
C2: Kettlebell/Dumbbell Swing-3x20
Workout B
1-1: Bench Press 5x5
2-1: Double Kettlebell,Dumbbell Clean and Jerk 3x6
2-2: Renegade Row 3x6
3-1: Kettlebell,Dumbbell Get-up (Right)
3b: Kettlebell or Dumbbell Get-up (Left Arm)
4a: Jump rope intervals (10 Minutes)
For a month, use Workout A and B every three days a week. This routine combined with a good diet and one or two cardio sessions will yield improved strength and rapid fat loss. Using these full-body exercises will hit all the muscles that would be hit with muscle specific workouts.
Using these exercises will save time because they target the same workouts that isolated exercises do. This allows you to build a great body in half the time that most magazine workouts require. Kettlebells, and similar full-body exercises, can give you more bang for the buck.
