Being a coach, I see time and time again various things come up. From the kids getting sick, to work keeping you late day after day.<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, there is always a way to get a workout in. <strong>Consistency will beat perfection every time<\/strong>. Even if the workout isn\u2019t what you normally do, that\u2019s not the point. The point of these workouts is to <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/training-commune-with-a-deeper-humanity\/\" data-lasso-id=\"80007\">stay on track with your fitness<\/a>, rather than making up an excuse to why you can\u2019t do it.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"the-workouts\">The Workouts<\/h2>\n<p>One workout will be based on assuming you have access to a gym, and one will be assuming you just have your living room floor next to the couch.<\/p>\n<p>Both workouts will be a total body workout, with circuit style interval training included. The workout will be three sets of each exercise, with a set being 35 second work time and a 15 second rest time. After you complete three sets of the exercise, you will move on to the next exercise. Follow the exercises in order as they\u2019re listed.<\/p>\n<p>Those who are curious, there is a method behind this. There is always at least one push movement, one hip dominant movement, one quad dominant movement, one trunk movement, and one full body movement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>This makes up most of the major movement patterns, contributing to the total body circuit<\/strong>. In the workout including the gym, there is a pull movement (the dumbbell rows). If you are home, you can use bands for this to get a pull movement if you have them. If not, again this is just to stay on track, so no need to stress.<\/p>\n<p>These workouts will not only <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingmuscle.com\/attack-your-imbalances\/\" data-lasso-id=\"80008\">work your total body<\/a> but also get your heart rate up as well. They can act as a bit of cardio, so you\u2019re killing two birds with one stone, all in 20 minutes.<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1-workout-with-gym-access\">1.
