Your lifestyle


Ask yourself (and answer honestly): “How many times can I work out each week? How many hours can I spend at the gym, including time in the shower and the locker room?” If you’re a busy parent who also works full time, chances are you have less time to work out than a college student or retired person. Be realistic. Don’t vow to do six sets per muscle group if the only time you’re able to lift weights is during your 30-minute lunch break on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Otherwise, you fall into that why-bother? trap. You’re better off doing a 20-minute routine than skipping that 2-hour workout you planned but somehow never got around to.
