Why Micro Workouts Work So Well For Ultra- Busy People

Micro Workouts are quick and efficient training sessions that focus on accomplishing a specific training objective while eliminating distracting fluff that doesn’t serve you. They are also much easier to stick with making it easier to maintain the consistency that’s essential for your success.

I do short intense workouts now. I no longer have an excuse to skip the workouts when I don't have an hour for a "formal" workout. It makes working out every day doable too.

[@waltherwagner9711]

Since I got kids this approach really helped me to stick to my training. There are times where I only have 10 minutes a day and other timer where I can workout 4x90min per week and anything between. It just makes sense

appreciate it Matt... this video, all the others, plus the book! --> Micro Workouts have been a strategy I've utilized for close to 3yrs now--> was such a paradigm shift when first encountered and continues to be invaluable to this day

I've had two newborns in the last few years, and the two main strategies I was able to do while exhausted were GTG style (Russian Fighter Pullup Program) and Dogcrapp rest pause sets spread throughout the day. The second one was great, as could just take a few minutes - 1 warm up set, one work set with rest pause, equivalent to multiple sets, done.

Awesome video this is very helpful for people struggling with there mental health aswell 10 mins seems much more realistic than a 2 hour marathon

[@mreverybody1150]

The Synapse CCR is perfect for this due to it's efficiency and constant tension throughout all ranges of motion. I workout a lot less now because it takes me longer to recover from the efficient workout that it entails. This is due to the fact that every workout involves eccentric overload along with isometric and concentric load.

The bigger legs I had was thanks to 12 minutes of intense isometrics for my quads a day, 6 mins per leg, 1 min recovery time. I'm back to that after a stop and added also a 12 mins for shoulders (both with overcoming isometrics of course)

[@Jeff-bv7pw]

How long were your holds for each leg? I'm curious about how many sets per leg and the duration of each set.

I'll be 69 next month and the third year of my paleo journey. I've always distinguished between strength training and conditioning. I'm leaning towards less progression to failure, the recovery is brutal. More maintenance, Nordic walk, HIIT stairs. I love my gym, from packing my bag to sauna and swim afterwards. Thanx for the fresh perspective. 💪🙏

fan! this episode defines my life!

[@user-sb4ns9ns4y]

Matt you really speak my language! I like yourself have a martial arts background this is neither here or there. I first ran across your website I wanna say 2011 about your opinion of doing simplifications like dips and chins for the upper body. I believe you said that it comes from the convict conditioning philosophy. That was the first time I heard you mention something called chain training.

[@TvKaplan]

Matt I’ve just started doing your GSC workouts after buying your book. I wanted to ask if you still follow that template of workout?

[@mb641]

Hi Matt! What do you think about doing several overcoming isometrics micro workouts spread throughout the day? I’m thinking about the longer bodybuilding ones like 3 sets of 45 seconds. It can be quite challenging if you’re doing 5 big compound movements. What are your thoughts?

[@anthonyromayo6296]

There's a lot of talk about these long workouts. I think 60 to 90 minutes is absurd. Most of the time my workouts don't last more than 20 minutes I can get a great workout with in 10 minutes. Other times it takes a little bit longer depending on how I feel. I'm 63 and I have a very physical manual labor job. The hardest thing for me is trying to balance my recuperation between my regular workouts and my actual job. My lower body gets a lot of work from my job.

I'm not ultra busy but ultra lazy, though I don't want to admit it

Sir do you think in push ups if we do like pushing the earth away vs simply up and down is better?like in read in earle liedermans book where he mentions doing push up as if you are pushing away or in squat as if your weight is twice and you push away floor when rising up ...is that technique useful?
