According to research from Nuffield Health’s fourth annual Healthier Nation Index, 33% of Britons have not dedicated any time to physical activity in the last 12 months, with almost 3 in 4 people still not reaching the NHS’s recommended 150 minutes of moderate exercise a week.
There are of course plenty of reasons why people feel they don’t have time to train, from family commitments to financial barriers. In Nuffield’s Healthier Nation Index, over half (53%) of those surveyed stated a “lack of motivation” as the biggest barrier to exercise, closely followed by 49% of people citing a “lack of energy”.
But the thing is, you don’t have to spend hours in the gym to make your training session count. Instead, all you need is one short but effective session to maintain those gains.
Fitness Director Andrew Tracey’s upper body barbell blaster, for example, is perfect. A ten-to-one ladder that only requires a barbell, it’s ideal for days when you don’t have long to train, or for when you want to add a filthy finisher to your upper body session.
