QUESTION:
How many days per week do you work out?
How many minutes per day?
If you don’t have time to go to the gym, do you do something at home to make up for it that day?
ANSWER:
Most weeks out of the year i work out 5 days a week and this is weight training. Each training session lasts between 55-70 minutes depending on if i do a few extra sets that day. I take 1 minute rest periods between all sets in order to fatigue the muscle and burn calories by increasing my heart rate. By using short rest periods and increasing your heart rate you are actually doing weightlifting and cardio at the same time.
If I'm out of town and don't have access to a gym i will do at-home exercises such as squats, push ups, close grip pushups, chin ups, crunches, and leg raises. i will usually do 25-50 reps of each exercise one after another, then take a 3-5 minute break and repeat the workout 4-5 times. this exercises the main muscles of the body and burns a lot of calories because of the high volume and intensity.

Great tips! You've got a good head on your shoulders. I only WISH I had been 20 years old when I clued into this style of workout! Add some crazy plyometrics in there and you've got my daily workout. In and out in less than 40 minutes and people say they get tired just watching me...but it works! I can't believe all the years I spent wasted in the gym lifting heavy but way too slowly! :)
