Time is scarce for most people in modern society these days. In order to make good muscle gains, you are often required to sacrifice gym time in order to fulfill needs at home, work, or school. Here are a few questions you should ask yourself if you are finding time is scarce. If you answer any of them in the affirmative, check out the attached tips for making the most of your situation!

Do you drive a lot?

If you do, A wrist flexor in your car might be all the help you need to develop some bowling pin forearms (and improve your grip for imperative movements such as rowing or deadlift) at the same time. Simply compete 5 to 10 minutes of wrist movements every time you get into the car. Soon you’ll discover new size and definition on your forearms, without spending a single extra second in the gym!

Do you have to sit at a computer at a desk all day?

Use that time to complete mini calf raises on a stack of books under your desk. Your co-workers will never know you are working on your cows, but you’ll have hours to devote to deep flexion and stretching, which may be exactly what you’ve needed to overcome a lack of calf growth.

Do you work from home some days?

Keep a 35 or 40 pound dumbbell by your computer. Between tasks, knock out a set of dumbbell curls or triceps presses behind the head. Your productivity will only minimally suffer, and the results will be much improved arms!

Do you have trouble falling asleep each evening?

If you do, you should use that time to eliminate tasks which you would otherwise be required to do the following day. Or, use that time to plan the next day’s diet and training.

Do you spend a lot of time in your laptop in the evening?

If this is the case, you should rearrange some shelves and position a laptop underneath a stepper or treadmill. Complete your half hour of required daily cardiovascular training without breaking a stride. The time will fly because you’re working, and it’s very likely you’ll be more productive than usual due to the increased blood flow to your brain from the exercise.

Are you required to do a lot of reading from books?

If this is the case, bring that book with you to the gym! Items you read in new and insanely stimulating places (such as a crowded gym) may stick with you more than something you attempt to memorize in the same boring library where you do the rest of your studying.

Do you have a work schedule that requires you to work nights?

Working late nights can make it tough to find time for tasks such as training. However, if you use your 2 to 3 off-nights as serious training sessions, you may discover your energy levels are high (and the gym is quite empty) at the same time you’d normally begin training. Give it a shot – you may discover late nights are perfect for your temperament and schedule.
