Sometimes people have a hard to making exercise a priority!

We all have busy schedules and sometimes it seems impossible to get to the gym to squeeze in that workout.

Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to enjoy exercise and spend less time in the gym?

I’m going to tell you a little secret, there is a way. It’s called compound exercises!

Yes, you can shorten your time at the gym.

What Are Compound Exercises?

“For the most time-efficient workouts, compound exercises are recommended because 8-10 exercises can stimulate all the major muscles in the body and create the greatest change in body composition in the shortest time. As an added bonus, compound exercises help develop the body proportionately” according to BodyBuilding.com.

The American Council on exercise says that there are “five benefits” of compound exercises.

Compound Exercises:

  1. Burn More Calories.
  2. Improve Inter-Muscular Coordination.
