Transform Your Body in Just 20 Minutes a Day: Build Muscle, Get Fit, and Stay Lean | Mind Pump 1890

[@WireHedd]

Used short time work out sessions of 15-30 minutes a day 4-6 times per week for the last 4 years as a recovery process from being a 401.6 lbs arthritis patient on a cane/walker to now at 185lbs and training daily and waking/jogging as a component of my recovery. Throw a carnivore diet on top of that and the combination has saved my life. Thanks for bringing more attention to this VERY effective method.

Wow. This really debunks decades of "knowledge". I can always find 20 minutes, scheduled or unscheduled.....My wife provides me with several unexpected delays of 20+ minutes every day. An hour, not so much. Skipping is contagious. That fact that the science supports this is icing on the cake. Thanks so much for this guys!

This is exactly what Dan John has been teaching for years. He calls it Easy Strength. I've tried it and it's remarkable. No fatigue, no soreness, you feel so good all day every day! You workout 5 days a week, push pull hinge loaded carry and abs compound exercise for 2x5. That's it. It would take less than 30 mins.

[@Just_Call_Me_Tim]

Push/pull/hinge/loaded carry/abs compounds? Little confused with the lack of punctuation in that list, so I wanted to clarify. And you did two sets of 5 at moderate difficulty? I like this, as I need something I can do 5-6 days a week without hurting myself. Been an OTR trucker for 9 years and I'll be coming off the OTR thing for local work next month.

One of the underrated benefits of having a 6 day 20 minute workout is routine. Rather than working outen days a week, and sleeping in on the rest, I have a daily routine that I workout after I get up. Really gives me the additional boost of energy.

[@jerrycordato3489]

@@stevea2125I believe your concern is addressed in by hitting various body parts with compound exercises and the recommendation of a couple sets of isolation exercises. They also suggest listening to your body. I like that they advocate that we can know what we need by tuning into our God-given biofeedback. How cool. 20 minutes fits in a schedule well. Consistency always wins!

[@ScrubDaddy265]

I like this idea of taking total volume and dividing it across 7 days. I’ve been doing this for awhile and blending it with antagonist supersets for the upper body based on movement plane. So pull downs and OHP for Vertical or rows and incline bench or dips for Horizontal. Then for legs, I choose a squat or deadlift for that day. So if I do 3-5 sets for each movement, that’s only 3 movements that day.

Really good to hear this. I’ve been doing 30 min a day, 6 days for about 2 months and have seen great results. Honestly I only did it because it fits into my schedule better. I do it either on my lunch break or right after work.

[@Steger13]

I don't understand how it work? So you do full body everyday that mean hitting the same muscle everyday For 6days? Is that it?

[@bc4458]

@tawacin Basically you dissect your workout into 6 20 minute workouts over the course of 6 days. Meaning you would do whatever muscle group you can fit into 20 minutes and continue onto the next or wherever you left off continue on the next day. For example Monday do back for 20 minutes and Tuesday choose another muscle group.

[@deidreking4472]

Their other video said you need 9-16 sets per muscle per week for hypertrophy . If I'm only doing one muscle per day for 3-5 sets how will I develope muscle? I want to hit every body part so I can't repeat a workout I have to move into the next body part each day. I'm very confused by the mixed info their two videos are suggesting.

Thanks MindPump trio. One of the best explanations about higher frequency trainings with lower sets vs lower frequency trainings with massive sets. It helps to build the mind and muscles connection too. Very well suited for people who do workouts at home. This thing just popped up in my mind. Think of it like paying up the mortgage. More frequent repayments with smaller amount will make you pay off the loan faster than infrequent payment with bigger amount.

I started listening to Mind Pump last November and when I say it has completely changed my life, I am not joking!

I have changed my lifestyle and the way I used to see fitness.

Women's menstrual cycle, hormone balance differences, etc. require different approaches than the male-focused generalized direction given by the fitness industry including 90% of trainers and coaches.

She became very depressed because everything became hard and she had to do a lot of sitting, and she's always been very active. She started going to an exercise trainer 3 x week (while wearing oxygen) a few months ago. They monitored her closely.

Same. My mind has a hard time with this. But I started today! Did u end up trying this style of workout?

[@Ben86709]

There is such a valuable wealth of knowledge being offered in the conversations from these guys I feel like I need to be taking notes! Thank you so much for the resource created.

I do workout 15-30 a day It works for me makes me happier and content in life

[@prahjister]

46yo following this myself but for about 30 minutes. 5-7 exercises. 2 sets. I aim for 14 reps but once I do I add weight. PPL I started weight training first time in my life with adjustable dumbbells and bench. I recently graduated and got a squat rack. It has been transformative for me. I started 6'2" Skinny fat 180lbs 4 months ago and up to 195. Feeling fantastic. Even though I weigh more I feel I look way more fit. Only advice is to start tracking everything from the beginning. Take pictures. Track Weight. Body tape measure. I missed the tape measure until late. It felt weird at first measuring the circumference of my arm but after tracking it for a little while it is inspirational.

Although the episode is amazing, I am here to comment how happy I am to see appreciation of Rodman, my all time favourite basketball player. Thanks for the episode.

[@beefcakesensei]

My primary way of training is 3 days of a full body EMOM, 40 seconds of work and 20 sec of rest each minute, that is twenty minutes long and the other three days I lift heavy in a compound movement and it has worked really well for me.

[@justincabling2935]

Great show guys. This is what I have been netting my new members. 20-30min workout is all you really need 5-6x /week. If your goal is to loose weight couple this circuit with 20 mins of cardio.

[@zforzorro8956]

And everyday the same workout? Like a short full bodyweight workout?

[@Rainul91]

Perfect timing. Cant wait to dive into this and add another tool to the arsenal. Thanks Mind Pump!

[@danielmesserich17]

Good show fellas! The sand paper and callus analogy was a great way to explain over training. I'll use that in the future. I wish I could get my wife to try resistance training for a few months to see what would happen, but she's in the cardio camp where you have to be sweaty soaked to have a good workout. Thanks for the information guys!

[@joe1071]

I agree, the longer kill my self sessions leave me fatigued and zapped the rest of the day. Shorter workouts leave me energized. I know which one I’m doing for now on

[@leroyfisher2138]

You guys should make a maps 20 min x 6 days a week. I'd buy it 💰💰 If you made this with the alternatives, compounds isolation would be so much easier to follow. 🙏

[@pipedream2020]

I love this set up. I used it for a few months and it worked well and like an idiot went to a 3 day routine and soon got overdone because it was too much. It's great because you can really focus on that one lift and add to the day with accessories. More energy, more focus and better recovery and you train almost every day.

[@simcynjohns8777]

Been vegan, SAD, and every diet known out there. Started with that pesky 5 pounds that I was convinced had to go. It didn't take long before the yoyo response got me to where I am... extremely overweight and low lean body. I started carnivore last April and quite honestly, I won't ever leave it... emotionally it's a life saver... but I didn't lose weight beyond the first month when I lost 30 pounds of mostly water (had edema issues). 5 months into carnivore I started tracking and found I was only eating around 700 calories. It didn't seem like I was eating that low... but then again when comparing my plate to other carnivores (they do like to show their meals...LOL), mine was remarkable less. That's when I came upon your video... the man with the red cap described a client from when he first started that was so me... not literally, of course, but me. I actually started crying and I am not one who does that easily because others, unintentionally, were giving me the signal that I must be doing something wrong... not measuring right, lying about what I ate, not sticking to carnivore, etc. After all, all you need to do is "get up, eat meat, repeat". I started hating that mantra since I was probably more strict than they. Long story short, I had already started increasing my calories, which I found out was extremely hard, but after hearing what your group said a couple of months in... it gave me the confidence that I am doing the right thing. Now I am feeling the drive, energy and need to build muscle. I've stopped the intense cardio, well intense for me, I was doing due to your talk and I'm concentrating on muscle building. I've only managed to get my calories up to around 1500... but, as I said, I am finding it hard to eat enough. I call my eating habit my "nonsurgical gastric bypass". This long winded diatribe was to say... thank you for getting this message out there. I wish there were more giving this message since I am sure I am not the only one who needed to hear it.

[@bkdesignr]

I've been saying this! ...ever since I heard someone else say it. No, this is great. I've noticed strength gains, even by the end of the week, by doing these short workouts. Thanks guys, good stuff as always.

[@jimbeam2705]

LOL, you're so full it.

Great ideas. This is why I’m currently on Maps Split…..6 days of gym activity…..with some mobility. Love being in the positive atmosphere of the gym that often. Luckily it’s only .5 miles from my house ! 😍 💪🏼

[@katiekleinbeck3908]

I found this so refreshing! Also it’s good to know what what I have been doing for a year or so (15-20min/day) was not in vain!

[@peaksmamawu3496]

This is so me! I normally do 25-30 mins for 5-6 days it just works for my schedule perfectly 🥰 thank you guys for sharing 🙌

[@iqbalmossodeea6844]

Well I have been doing this for the past 3 months the results are phenomenon.Due to my job and other responsibilities I have only 20-30mins for workout daily.So I trained 5 times a week. 3 session of Strength training and 2 metcon session.My strength only 3 moves deadlift overhead press and wide grip snatch pull. 15-25 reps for deadlifts and overhead press and 4 sets x 4 to 5 reps of wide grip snatch pull. My sets varies sometimes I do 5-4-3-2-1 then I'll go medium light on the next weight training session 3 x 8 then next 3 x 6 then next 3-2-1 for 3 rounds. My metcons are generally double unders and kettlebell swings snatches clean n press goblet squat. My metcons do not exceed 20 minutes. And every night before sleeping 20 mins stretching.Hip flexor quad hamstrings crab stretch ,can opener stretch etc.. The most important thing I don't feel during the day

[@SuperDenglish]

This is very interesting. I'm someone recovering from adrenal fatigue, insulin resistance and have some vegus nerve issues. The issue I've always had is after a few weeks of regular working out I'm exhausted and have to stop for a long period. Instinctively I've been leaning toward one set of everything daily but kept talking myself out of it. I'm going to give this a go and see how it turns out.

[@reginald4776]

I’m in the same boat.

[@AmerijamAcres]

Is like to see you guys put together a a program based on this. I have a small home gym and work from home. For a very long time my workouts consisted of my going into the gym whenever I was stuck on something and doing a set of pull-ups and going back to working. Then doing some dips the next time I got stuck. It would be helpful to have a program that listed so many sets to be done throughout the day for someone like me with a pull-up and dip bar some gymnastics rings a few kettlebells and some dumbbells. I never followed a program until I started doing anabolic at thee gym but I can see how having an at home program could be useful.

[@milsdobaggins]

Gonna give this a whirl for awhile. Today from warm up to leaving the gym was 25 minutes. 3x5 back squat @255 2 sets of hamstring curls. Just went until it was difficult. Upper tomorrow 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@joef8085]

I was thinking of alternating between upper compound/lower isolation and then upper isolation/lower compound workouts

[@milsdobaggins]

@@joef8085 that's a cool idea. I love messin around with this stuff. I finished my first week. Slightly sore but was in and out in no time, especially upper body days where I don't need to do as many warm up sets. Felt good and strong and energized for the rest of the day (I workout in the morning).

[@Tony-boxingcoaching]

How it going with the workout 20m

[@milsdobaggins]

@@Tony-boxingcoaching great! Finish up my second week tomorrow. Despite a busy week still got it in every day. Feeling strong and not beat up. Only two weeks in but siked to give it an honest 12 week try.

[@Tony-boxingcoaching]

@@milsdobaggins How many sets and reps are you doing

[@DadWisdomBites]

Work from home was a game changer for me. With my pull up bar and weights in the room over, got 15 mins downtime between meetings, I get a lift in. There are no excuses now.

[@theneverending9319]

I shall try this starting tomorrow

[@chasepotter2376]

Realistically what it comes down to is what works best for each individual person and their lifestyle and day to day routines, etc.

[@riegs546]

Love the info and idea, would like to try this...thanks once again, Mind Pump! I'd also love to hear from you guys or anyone else on here in the comments with some examples of what you're doing during a week within the confines of the 20 min sessions. Looking for ideas to get it going!

[@ericsonkennway9651]

I do 5-6 Days Fullbody a week. 3-sets of: -Some kind of chestpress -Row or Pullup variation -Legs, mostly squats -core -shoulders or Traps -Bi -Tri Takes me at least an hour to 1 1/2. Now as per what was discussed in the Video this is way to much but I feel like I can‘t really cut anything otherwise some part will be lacking. Now I‘m training for about 6 years now, I’m seeing the best results I‘ve ever gotten and recovery also isn’t an issue. Also I’m very consistent but when I want or need a day off I can pick any day. I really enjoy training this way and have the time to do it so…🤷🏼‍♂️ Still I think it’s a bit too much maybe gonna split one day into two sometime in the near future.

[@deidreking4472]

Remember in their other video they said each muscle only needs between 9-16 sets per week. So you could hit chest 3 times a week with minimum 3+ sets each day for the total 9 + sets per week and then hit back with the other 3 days with 3+ sets per workout for those 9+ sets per week. I'm starting to understand this better . I'm going to try this.

[@3ForPs]

I’m literally testing this now. Using the same program that brought me to a 180kg squat but splitting the 1 session up in to 4 sessions. Wish me luck

[@fabiocuritibabrasil]
