Stop Wasting Time: How to Build Real Fitness with Just 5 Essential Compound Movements

Supplementary Exercises and Time-Efficiency
Following these compound movements, you should add a few complementary exercises to your routine to target specific body parts. Movements like Dumbbell Bicep Curls or Single-Leg Glute Bridges are excellent options for this purpose.
Getting Maximum Results in Minimal Time
If you have limited time for training, you do not need to worry. With a little planning, you can make the most of your available time. Laura Hoggins’ advice on this matter is to pair exercises that work opposing muscle groups—such as quadriceps with hamstrings, or an upper-body movement with a lower-body movement. This smart combination ensures you get the maximum return from your workout in the shortest duration. In this way, even if you have a limited window of time, by correctly selecting compound and complementary exercises, you can still achieve real and lasting fitness.
