Is a 15 Minute Full Body Workout Enough Time For An Effective Workout? | Mind Pump 2112

[@rebeccapettiford5389]

I started breaking up my 3x a week full body workout over 6 days. So the volume is the same but the frequency is higher. I also started doing this with my walking. I usually walk 25-30 minutes a day but now I walk 20 minutes in the morning, 10-15 minutes after breakfast and another 10-15 minutes after lunch. Then I do another 10-15 walk before dark. So now I’m walking twice as much as I did before and it’s easy! What I’ve noticed is I have so much more energy and it’s easier to keep my calories in check because I’m more active during the day. So I don’t have extra down time to eat out of boredom! I’ve never felt better and I seem to be losing some weight. Finally!

[@mattbarkley1]

As a Dad of three squeezing in a workout is hard to do, I can for sure get 15 minutes. Thank you MP team for sharing your wisdom.

[@jeffblair9336]

I did maps 15 and everything they said was true. Was an advanced lifter and switched to maps 15 advanced version and physique changed for the better, joint pain went away, and my strength increased. Plus an added benefit is more time with the family and you don’t need workout prep with maps 15 like pre-workout drinks.

[@sharonphillips3700]

Did you use the suspension trainer? I have no idea where to hook it up. I have a room with dumbbells, flat bench and a regular door…not a home gym.

[@CapnDavidMorgan]

Been doing this for 3-4 months now and added 30-40 lbs on all my lifts. Helped me stay consistent since becoming a step dad and life suddenly getting way crazier. I will add that having a home gym makes a HUGE difference here

[@Ordie251]

Just saw this in 2x speed, 15 minute version, felt appropriate

[@sariahhayford3331]

As a working single mom, episodes like this are why I listen to Mind Pump. Thank you!!

[@claymonaro68]

Your communication skills are so good, you explain health and fitness in such a way anyone can understand. Thank you

[@scottbennett3765]

To paraphrase Arnold… “you can get more out of one episode of Mind Pump than most podcasts can provide in a month.”

[@carterheffern8785]

I’ve been trying to get my father to get my dad interested in this program. He claims he doesn’t have enough time because of working, and other daily routines, etc. He currently goes for a 2 mile walk everyday so this would be great to supplement into his routine. He’d love this program! Thanks for all you do, listening to y’all everyday has changed my life.

[@CapnDavidMorgan]

Been doing this workout for the last 7 months. That is the most consistent I have ever been with my training. Usually I drop off after about 2 months. I've gained considerable strength and I'm a hard gainer and have out on 15 lbs in that time.

[@estaleendennison1436]

I’m a busy mom and with me going to school soon, this information is very comforting to me. I’ve been worrying about my ability to keep up with working out, amongst everything else. I feel more confident knowing having to cut my time with working out doesn’t mean sacrificing my gains. Thank you guys , definitely needed to hear this !

[@Christianh.5]

I'm a husband, father, trainer and have a full time job, trying to fit a good workout in my schedule as well as one for my wife is a challenge. Thanks to you guys I have started to understand that I don't need to destroy myself to see the benefit. Fantastic episode!

[@teen7034]

I’m a new subscriber & I really love you guys’ content. I’ve realized that I need to scale way back so MAPS 15 sounds excellent. I also started eating protein 1st as y’all have suggested. What a game changer as I’m not snacking all day long anymore. Thank you for all you do & for putting out excellent, truthful content.

[@ispysamm]

I honestlycant express in words how the 3of you have changed my whole outlook on exercise and especially lifting for strength. im absolutely obessed with anabolic, specifically phase I, i find it extremely difficult to pahse out or even do any of my other programs i have from you all. my son and daughter ( 6 &10) see my lift regularly and always want to join in as well. from the bottom of my heart, thank you, for everything.

[@riveralley]

For maybe the past month or so, Ive been doing maybe three sets a day of 10 push ups, 3 pullups, and 1 single leg squat. I do that randomly through out the day, and adding a rep to each one like every week or couple of weeks. Definitely has made me feel a little stronger.

[@tfregin1]

It’s hard to balance distance running, bjj, and weights. Good to know 15-20 minutes is adequate. Thanks for the valuable content!

[@florenceroses]

As a mum to a toddler who only has 1 nap now, MAPS 15 advanced is so good, its what im doing at the moment swapping with MAPS bands. One of the key things is have time to prime properly. I feel like im getting a better workout in than when I'm doing longer workouts, because i can actually get the priming in and can focus on form and tempo, rather than feeling a bit stressed that I'm not going to be done with the workout in time. MAPS Bands is awesome too, really helped me with my form and strengthening the end range of my squat, as i was already hyper mobile before baby. Also because it was fully bands, i didn't have to worry about toddler being asleep, it was safe to do with him as there are no heavy weights as a hazard. When im traveling for work i take bands with me and swap from MAPS15 advanced to MAPS bands if i have the extra time and hotel doesn't have a decent gym.

[@jasonmotiei8231]

I’ve been following you guys for the past 6 months or so and your programs have really changed my life and perspective on exercise. My wife and I just had our first child and the MAPS 15 program would be a great transition for my workouts. Thank you guys and keep up the great work!

[@zvonkom]

Love the Ron Paul shirt! 😎 🇺🇸

[@itsdozer4582]

As a father of four, a full time truck driver and also running a small business. Maps 15 would be a game changing time saver.

[@alysonfoy8876]

I love 15 minutes of exercise. Thanks for the format!

[@Tim_is_a_hooligan]

But but but ... how will people say they don't have time to exercise

[@thinkgreencali3443]

How the hell will I work out for 15 mins when I need to drinky coffee🤔

[@trinijam9704]

😂😂😂

[@CapnDavidMorgan]

While simultaneously spending hours in their phone

[@optimoprimo132]

Where there is a Will there is a way, I can always find an excuse.

[@BBeeblebrox]

I'm a newbie lifter, I've been lifting weights since last 7-8months, and mostly following advice from lifters on KZbin. Mind pump has helped me a lot in understanding so many things about lifting weights, id just started following a new program which I designed after listening to MPS, mostly compound lifts except pull ups as I neither have that kind of strength, nor have a pull up bar at home where I workout. Maps 15 looks like something that would suit my needs. Thanks for the all the info you guys provide☺

[@whatawonderful3303]

Listening to Mind Pump has made a huge difference in my approach to working out and answered so many of my health and fitness questions. Today I’m a happier and healthier fitness enthusiast- thanks guys!

[@steelersroadwarrior6924]

I'm your favorite client!!!! Spend too much time in the gym, not enough results.....trying to do less and trust my workouts!

[@jeneeday3110]

Man I’m loving this episode. It does blow my mind a little that 15 minutes could be effective- and even an improvement - over what I’ve been doing.

[@mdjardinado]

Thanks to your trigger and mobility sessions, I do feel refreshed everytime a foundational workout comes up. Would love to try the 15/20 min workouts to see if I feel the same or better for my lifts. Thanks!

[@cindyhaferbecker2966]

Yes! I need help, lol... I'm one of those in the over do bucket.. I've lost 50lbs this last year, now trying to gain muscle. Your channel has helped me so much.

[@scotlynhatt]

Definitely on-point with this one gentleman. One of the realities of weight training if you use something like a watch to track is that the actual workout time seldom goes over 20m. Of course rest time is included in total time so that can vary greatly depending on intensity and volume, which really gets to the fundamentals of managing volume and intensity you guys were going over. This reminds me of seeing a stat on how much actual play time in a football game (15 to 20m), which is essentially just sets and reps with ridiculous intensity.

[@irenaQ]

I’m pretty convinced after listening for a bit now that I over do it in the gym. Currently doing performance but have started scaling it down a bit. I think I’ll take the maps 15 plunge next.

[@haniobeidi849]

I am on phase 3 on MAPS. It's great with one having a family with young kids and time is limited. When I have more time, I add a set , use dumbells... great foundation.. for sure processing too which is great while aesthetics are in development

[@angelicat6050]

On my second round of MAPS Anabolic and making great progress. I purchased MAPS15 with the summer sale for a different stimulus. Can’t wait to try it!

[@NoHabloIngles826]

Been working out for almost 7 months, 5 x a week, 45 mins to an hour....and I can barely see any changes. I do feel a change in my strength and endurance though. I would love to get it all in order with the MAPS 15 min workout. Thank you guys for the great show! I'm always learning. 🎉

[@pensasenzagiudicare]

I ve been working out every morning before work. 20 minutes, not longer. I can not even begin to tell you how much this consistency has changed my body. I started doing this after hearing you guys talk about the effectiveness of a short work out. I would like to try maps 15 it would be perfect for my schedule. Thanks 🙏

[@mailorlee2]

15 minutes of exercise reminds me of "Work smarter, not harder." Except in the workout world, it's probably more "Workout smarter, not longer." Thanks for all the knowledge 💕

[@ShanitaMontgomery]

P.s I just got YOUR book on audible 🥰I love this concept. I am new to weight training 💪🏾 and listening to you all is life changing. I feel like map's 15 would be a great program. It would be hard to know that I couldn't go to the gym everyday considering I dream about the gym lol. Yes new I understand but u all have my out Here acting like a personal trainer. I can't tell u how many ppl I tell about you guys.... l tell myself in the gym don't change up one day 2300 will be a deficit and I will ride it out until then with the same calorie count....I am a 4'11 138 pound c-section mom of 4 trying to be a muscle mommy... KEEP SPREADING THE BEST INFO EVER🥰

[@Dolldoll100]

Hi I’m so glad I found you guys. I can’t wait to try that 15 minutes.

[@elizabethjahnke1351]

This is great! Right now I'm able to get longer workouts in, but I know in the future MAPS 15 will be my best friend.

[@concernedcanadian5313]

Love the show! Have learnt so much from you guys, really helped me to see quick results after getring back in the gym. One thing you have discussed before and didnt mention in this episode was muscle activation frequency and the benefit of sending that signal to the body more often (more times) by spreading out the workouts and also hitting it again within the correct time frame keeping all the major muscle groups in the activated buulding phase as opposed to hitting the muacle groups once a week and only sending that sigbal once. So not only is form better, reps cleaner, weight likely to be increased, fatigue factor removed, all as mentioned.......your keeping the body "activated" and therefore reaping more reward from the imporvments already mentioned.......its like double dipping! I always have time for a quick 15 min! Thanks for the quality info, cant wait for the next one.

[@strike396]

I love how you guys always hit the nail on the head. When I started working out I felt such a burn and my body responded so well. I’ve been chasing that burn again for a while and I feel fatigue before that burn. I have been upping the weight with good tempo, but I think I may keep the weight the same or go lower in weight and even slower and see if that volume change pushes me along further!

[@micahwilliams3795]

You guys never fail to give good information and create great programs. Thank you for all you do.

[@tabithasantos9809]

I’m going to purchase this bundle and change it up. Right now I’m wrapping up aesthetic.

[@rdaliz]

Omg where do I begin!!!! You guys this is awesome! I'm a new mommy and I got injured due to overtraining currently in physical therapy. I was doing Maps suspension and I am in love with it! Hopefully I can get back to it soon!!! You guys rock!

[@Lee.b190]

I’ve been strength training at home now for about 9 months and I have seen some gains, I would love this program as I don’t really have a program set up by experts it’s really me just guessing what’s good. Keep up the good work guys you really are helping people to get healthier 👌

[@katelynf398]

I need maps 15! Just acquired a 3 year old and no longer have the time to spend an hour in the gym everyday and I’m big time struggling with working out now! Thank you for the great advice as usual guys!

[@BluBlu111]

Whats an example of the exercises to do, how many sets and reps

[@xayvinayxiong]

It's great to know how to fit 15 mins for those who are short on time. Something more feasible. Thank you!

[@LisaPfeiffer-i7f]

I love the paradigm as Arnold said. Effective equals results, not how much time it takes.

[@christyhalverson9752]

Love your show! Thank you for putting true information out. Listening to you guys is the highlight of my day!

[@Etherkai]

I used to be a runner who almost never did strength training until I sprained my ankle last December, then I pivoted hard into calisthenics during my recovery since I was used being quite active. Much of this episode rings very true for me as I would do 25-minute sessions 4-5 times a week and made decent progress. I'm back to running now, but I still keep calisthenics as part of my fitness routine as I love the feeling of pushing to failure.

[@loua3032]

New to exercising! love the content, been listening to you guys on my drive to work in the morning to get in the right mind set. Keep up the good work and thank you.

[@marthalampropoulou]

I just asked about maps 15 on their last video and here is my answer !! Thank you very much

[@Emanuel_carey]

Perfect practice makes perfect.

[@carlosdmc5395]

That's what I did during the police academy in order to keep the muscle after all the running up and down the hills. 15 minutes of my own time lifting weights at home. Awesome guys.

[@masonemcede7125]

Big fan of the content. thank you guys for all your doing for us in the fitness community, completely changed the way I approach my training. Thanks

[@jhildebrand7447]

Maps 15 encourages perfect form just as much as it grows muscle. Great program for a low budget home system and especially for a busy mom like me.

[@TheSbrown1681]

Man this is soo informative. When I go to the gym and do my sets and because I’m a heavier man (380) I have had people walk by as I’m lifting either saying oh big man you can do more sets than just 3 or you should have more weight on that bar than that and I say I’m working on my technique first and they look at me crazy and say you are cheating yourself.

[@JRoundtree]

Practice makes permanent. I actually got stronger and felt better when I did MAPs 15. I felt like I was lifting everyday but not becoming super sore. It was a paradigm shattering concept to me.

[@bryanczap0826]

with frequency i always think of how strong people that do hard labor like farmers and oil rig workers are strong because they do the same thing every day over and over and they just get so good at what they do. i just started performance and its awesome i don't get why people sleep on that one but now i want 15 too. haha

[@anjalipatil3274]

Thanks a lot from bottom of my heart for your divine guidance I love doing exercise but being a gynecologist it was very difficult to manege my time for regular workout but I think I can manege 20 min daily without fail ❤I love you from India

[@caitlynnguyen7239]

It sounds too good to be true. I would totally give it a try to see for myself. Great contents, thanks guys

[@benwilliams36]

Love this 15 minute concept.

Deeeyyyymmmn, this 15 min approach to fitness is really blowing my mind.. I hope to be able to train like that. Been really busy lately with all the work. You guys are awesome.

[@TeamNoFlyZone]

Good timing on this video! I just finished aesthetics and am doing a deload week this week and I am starting MAPS 15 Advanced next week! I was a little nervous that it wouldn't be enough so this is reassuring! I'll trust the process 👊

[@rachelwarriormum71]

Am a female from the UK and have discovered you guys, you're great and I'm learning so much, thank you 😊 I'm about to embark on a weight program at home, am a struggling menopausal single mum and want to start a bulk to gain 14lbs of both fat and muscle, as lost alot of both due to hormones 😢 am excited to start but its daunting too, as have a child with adhd and life gets hectic, so would love to try maps 15 minute 💪 I used to train many years ago but now 52 and pretty rusty! Luckily, I have dumbbells kettlebell,, bar and machine with leg ext and curl in garden, so pretty well equipped enough to start! I just want to feel strong and confident again and get my curves back! Great channel, love you chaps 👏

I've been working out since I was 16, now 39, and it's been so difficult to lose weight and get the look that I want. I'm glad I came across your channel. Hopefully I learn something.

[@marcus8511]

Great episode! I think I'm going to design some program based on this and try it out in the autumn. What I miss in your talk about this is the subject of recovery. I assume that that is taken care of in the MAPS 15 program, but it would have been interesting to hear a few thoughts!

[@eileensolim]

I hear you and I want to change. I am scared to cut down the frequency/volume of training though... Finding the “right amount” is key, not “hammering the body” 😅 Easier said than done! 😅

[@Billy_Batson69]

Very intrigued by this, I have a sleep disorder and I believe I overdo the training.

Thanks guys Been watching you for a few years and found this so relevant being a dad of 4, I’ve been doing my own version of a 15 minute work out in but know this there’s something missing but I love the idea of this and I will be getting this programme at payday to help me out One question if time, would you change anything after a hard days labour, tradesman here but still want to get the most out of my training Thanks guys, feel good knowing these videos really help people mentally with getting in that workout 💪

I LOVE your content, and my biggest struggle is sleep my average is 5 to 6 hours sleep ( i include an hour or so nap during the day time permitting) since my army days i started waking up early and work also enforced the habbit. sometimes more often then i like ot admit i get 4 hours sleep and i function normally, ( i get sleepy mid day then i get an hour or 2 nap) :(

[@johnortiz8607]

I've been following you guys for a while now and I love your content, i recommend it to everyone I know. I would love to win maps 15 to give it away to one of the guys I work with, that is trying to get into working out. Doug, Drew do your thing!!

[@dennisolsen7953]

The blistering fear of cardio is mind blowing. 🤣

[@katrinaml89]

15 to 20 minute workouts are about all I have time for anymore with 3 kids and one on the way 😅 it's certainly better than NOTHING! And it's vital for the kids to see mom and dad make time for their health. We have to be the example.

[@JustMalcolm914]

Its not about how long the w.o is but the effectiveness of it

[@mrpeabody3119]

what are your thoughts on spreading workouts over the course of the day? I get sets up when I can, sometimes that's 5 minutes between sets, sometimes its 25. My volume stays consistent and I get in the reps but its over the course of the work day since my home gym is in the other room.

[@Sulimankhayyat]

Great podcast. I've been following maps anabolic for 7 months now, next I have performance and I'm thinking maybe strong or atheistic not sure yet.
