What should I do if I have limited time to train?

Options for athletes that don't have time to complete traditional Peak Strength workouts

As an athlete or someone that is looking to improve their fitness, we understand that there may be times you may not have a full 60-90 minutes to complete a workout.

We understand how busy schedules can be. That is why we have three ways for you to be able to complete condensed workouts.

Option 1: Finish Workout Button

If you want to stick to your program and complete the prescribed workouts, you typically need 60-90 minutes to complete a workout.

However, if you need to cut a workout short, you can utilize the "Finish Workout" button from the workout preview screen.

This can be found in two places:

The first being at the bottom of the Workout preview screen.

The second being in the options menu in the top right corner of the workout preview.

This way you can complete your prescribed workout to the best of your ability, then mark the workout as complete and receive credit when you need to be done.

Option 2: Time Crunch Bonus Workouts

If you usually have time to complete regular-length Peak Strength workouts, but are in need of a quick workout once in a while, we recommend using a time crunch bonus workout.

In the bonus workout library, there is an entire section for time crunch where you can select something similar to what you had originally had programmed for that day.

You can access these workouts by clicking “+ Add Workout” on your current day and then selecting “Time Crunch” under the Bonus Workouts section.

Option 3: Athletic Fitness Time Crunch Training Plan

If you are consistently strapped for time and you are looking for shorter workouts to fit into your schedule, we recommend following the Athletic Fitness Time Crunch training plan.

This training plan allows you to train up to 5 days a week while providing the essentials of training in the limited time that you have. This program focuses on strength, hypertrophy, cardio, and athleticism over 30-minute workouts.

You can access the Time Crunch training plan by clicking “train for a goal” > Athletic Fitness > Time Crunch.
