Definitely focus on compound exercises if you're short on time. They're gonna give you the most bang for your buck since they're engaging multiple muscle groups at once. A routine of squats, deadlifts, bench press, and overhead press can cover pretty much every major muscle group. Sprinkle in some HIIT cardio on a bike or rowing machine if you have time!

yo compound exrcises are the bomb man. i swear by squats, deadlifts, bench all dat. u can do like 3x5 for strength. for cardio just do rowing or sprints for some fat burning. and dont forget to stretch bro, gotta keep loose

Hey! Professional fitness coach here. Given you have only 1 hour, it's key to make your workouts efficient yet comprehensive. You're correct about compound exercises; they're a time-efficient way to engage multiple muscle groups.

One possible one-hour workout could look like this:

-5 minute warm-up (light cardio or dynamic stretching)

-Compound strength training (30 minutes). Prioritize Squats, Deadlifts, Bench Presses, and Barbell Rows, which work large muscle groups.

-Cardio (15 minutes). Try high-intensity interval training – short, intense bursts of exercise with brief recovery periods.

-Stretching/Flexibility work (10 min). Pay attention to the muscles you focused on during the strength training and target them for stretching.

Remember, your form is crucial. Don't sacrifice it to lift heavier or do more reps. Quality over quantity always!

Just lift heavy things until you can’t anymore lol. Or maybe become a yogi. Heard they only work out like 1 hour a day as well 🤣

Don't forget to incorporate flexibility in your workouts! Mobility is so overlooked. Take 10 mins at the end to stretch, try some yoga poses even. It'll aid recovery and help you avoid injury.

As someone who was in a similar boat, I've found circuits to be crazy efficient. Combine strength and cardio there. Like burpees -> kettlebell swings -> stair sprints -> repeat. It kicks my butt and gets it all done in one!
