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.
