The Five-Minute Full-Body Burner

It isn’t about how long you spend working out…It’s about the QUALITY of the time you spend.

Sometimes we get so focused on needing to spend a certain amount of time working out that, when we then don’t have “enough time,” we end up doing NOTHING.

Or we just put ourselves into a “run out the clock” situation and don’t actually maximize the time we do spend at the gym.

Stop focusing though on the length of your workout and instead pick moves and workout designs to maximize the time you do have. And give yourself options for those busy days when 5 minutes may be all you have!

Something is better than nothing ESPECIALLY if it is quality.

That is why I do a Friday Five Workout each and every week. And now I even have a Library of all my Friday Fives in my App Redefining Strength On Demand!

Check out this awesome 5-Minute Full-Body Burner from my Friday Five series below. And get even more of my follow alongs with RS On Demand!

    Hi,
    I really like you and your work.
    I am 74 yr old woman with full torn super/infra supinous, partial subscapularis left shoulder and damaged right shoulder on two tendons right shoulder. ….and I have a new right knee.
    I used to do masters swimming and am fairly fit …..how can I adapt your exercises….or is it impossible?

    Thank you

    Thanks! Are you cleared by a PT to workout? It sounds like you need some rehab and to first focus on restoring as much mobility as possible and strengthening your back to support your shoulders 🙂

    This looks like it targets all the body’s pillars, very nice 💪🏻

    Q: have you ever tried doing your workouts while nose breathing? It’s been quite a paradigm shift for my training the past two years (nasal strips are a gamechanger).

    Honestly I like to make sure I’m doing proper belly breathing to create the correct amount of intra-abdominal pressure. Key that whole core and diaphragm work together!
