I’m currently on women’s prime and loving it. I do have one problem. It takes me a really long time to get the workout done. It’s not that I’m fatigued or feel over trained, time is just a constraint for me. I find it time consuming to set up and then pack away equipment and move to other machines that I have to wait for as is in a communal gym with other members. Often I have to leave off 2 exercises because I don’t have the time to get them done. Does anyone have any tips or tricks to maybe do the program more efficiently and what do I do with the exercises I left out try and get them done the next training session?
Thank you!
Hi Zahra, I have been in the same situation and I have a small amount of time to spent at the gym and some programs would take longer than an hour. If you are loving Women’s Prime, I would suggest to have a look at the program and see how you could cut out time waisted. For example, supersets could be done separate, changing exercises with suggested alternatives where you would not need to move from one place to another ( dumbbells and machines for example), maybe the order of exercises could be modified a bit if you see a machine available just take it.
I think what is important is to be able to keep consistent with your training. I hope this helps.I used to leave the lunges or step ups for later on during the day but I work from home so that might not be doable it did take me 90 mins per session which got draining. .
It’s a common issue people face! The program was written with around 44-60 minutes in mind if followed to a tee. But some gym set ups don’t allow for it which is fair enough. In that case, reduce the sets. So instead of 3 or 4, jusy do 1-2. Start there, get the variety of movements in. Then if you have time start adding. It won’t change the overall effect significantly

I was just too rigid in trying to follow the program exactly I didn’t even think about switching the order or swapping exercises which seems like common sense to me now 🤦🏾♀️ I managed to get the entire workout done in ~60 mins today! Thank you very much!

I have been averaging at 80 mins and that was leaving off a couple exercises. It got mentally draining!

Awesome thank you! I definitely will reduce sets on the more time consuming exercises.
