This morning my friend called me up to ask me about working out at home.
His younger brother just left for college and he had a few dumbbells in his room.
So my friend finally decided that it was time for him to get into shape.
But let me first tell you about my friend.
He just joined a start up technology company.
Which means he's underpaid and overworked.
He doesn't have money for a gym membership, nor does he have time to workout.
I saw him over the weekend, along with a few other friends.
It was sort of a reunion.
As we were talking, we all started talking about our workouts.
My friend never actually worked, but he did play sports.
But ever since he started his new job, he's been steadily gaining weight and losing muscle.
His face is starting look chubby and he now has moderate-sized gut.
When he called me up, he was telling how he was afraid that he was on the wrong path.
He needed a good workout routine that didn't take a lot of time.
I told him to use his brother's dumbbells and combine them with bodyweight exercises such aspushups, pullups, and bodyweight squats.
The easiest way to organize your workouts is to use supersets.
Supersets are where you alternate between two exercises with little no rest in between each set.
For example, perform 10pushups, followed by 10 Dumbbell Bent Over Rows for an incredible upper body workout.
My friend was overjoyed by this simple lesson I had taught him.
