**For all you Trainers** You have 15 minutes to train someone. what do u do?

[bmar22]

15 minutes of intense a s s kicking! how would you train them? Be as specific as needed.

[Simmo0508]

Warm up - 2mins low intensity of the activity you plan to do for the bulk of the workout

Cardio / Conditioning - do a few intervals with them (i don't know the level of your said client however, taking into consideration). For example, instead of doin traditional 30 on 30 off's, do a 45 on 15 off. Work off a higher intensity level, since the duration of workout is like nothin.

Cool Down - 1min low intensity

2mins stretching every major muscle involved in previous activity


So for the exercise you pick during that 10'ish minute period, up to you. You know your client, we don't. However boxing isn't always great imo when workin with such a short time period. It's a tad awkward with the stopwatch and timing everything correctly, when your taking hits yourself. Your own eyes and coordination sometimes is all over the place.

Outdoor sprints is often a handy one. Especially for 10mins. It'd be over before you know it, and the client won't have a chance to even get bored.

thats some good stuff. I was talkin more along the linges of weight training. but what you posted could be intense as crap.

[Simmo0508]

Weight training? Ok, for what sort of client exactly?!

Big badass bodybuilder, average middle aged man/woman?

[HardGainer82]

Light their shoes on fire.


Seriously though, the 45-15 intervals sound about right to me.

[muladesigns]

i dont think you can have an effective weight lifting session in only 15 minutes. warming up uses up at least 5, resting as little as 1 min per set uses 4 at least. leaving you with 10 min for training. I would tell the client to get serious about there lifestyle goals and add at least 30 min or dont bother at all.

[Spiceygamble]

The variables alone make everyone's answers right & wrong.
*chuckle...

First you have to know your target's needs/wants... then you have to figure out if you're going for a partial or full body work out... just cardio... blah blah blah.
What I do for me in 15 mins would be completely out of the question for any of the guys above me, for example.

Interesting concept question though.

[hublife]

warm up for 2 mins
Man Makers for 10 reps with moderate weight (20lbs)
Plyo Leaps for 10 reps
Plyo Pushups for 10 reps

repeat 4 times. Make sure you have water, towel and defibilator ready. lol

[BC02]

Id have them do two sets of squats then superset bench with bet over rows and anytime left over superset hypers with decline abs

[xxsupergman25xx]

lunge x10 each leg w/ weight if can
break for 15 secs

press or pushup x12
break for 15 secs

squat x15
break for 15 secs

close grip row x12
break for 15 secs

Deadlift x12
break for 15 secs

Shoulder press x12
break for 15 secs

Decline Situp
break for 15 secs

Pullups x12
break for 15 secs


this will kicks sum1s ass if u use the right weights..
but as stated earlier..i dont see much benefit other than makin it feel like uve done something. and weights might increase a lil bit after a few sessions..

but tell them if their dedicated enough to at least spend 30 mins workin out.

Agreed. The experience level of the client was never mentioned.

[Commonpremier21]

for a healthy, pain-free adult, as many rounds of 25 wallballs and 50 double under jump roping as they can do in 15 minutes

[EMISGOD]

Get in my car.
Put car in neutral.
Have them push me inside the car around for 15 minutes.
Collect $200/pass Go.

[John Prophet]

10 minute warm up
5 minute cool down

OMG....*roflmao!!!
You're a force to be reckoned with, bless your heart.

[LI GUY 1]

Haha my friend trains at a gym and wanted to change up a father and son's workout for a day, just do something totally new for them for fun.

So I just said "just make them push my car" and that was that.
We hop in, set it in nuetral, turn on the radio, and yell at them to push lol.

I enjoyed watching them do that workout, and they loved doing it.

[FreddyKrueger]

Anyone actually try to push a car for over 10minutes??? Its HARD (especially good 'ol muscle cars).

Anyway, if this is not a joke question... I would show him 10 exercises that he can do after our 15 minutes is over.

[MVP]

15 minutes of intense a s s kicking! how would you train them? Be as specific as needed.

Sounds like LA Fitness, and your previous or current client was late

[TeddyTank]

30 sec warmup on low bike, level 15 as hard as possible.
2 min ballistic stretching
2.5min rower high pull

7.5min squat strip sets, decrease/increase of 10lb per 5 reps starting at 10% 1rm working up to 95% of 1rm and back down to 10%, then push a car for as long as possible, helping them if they need it.


THEY WILL BLEED!!

[skarotum]

10 minute warm up
5 minute cool down

LOL!!

[ThaiFighter_83]

15 minute workout? That's easy. I'll just hold thai pads for them for 4 rounds, 3 minutes each round, and 1 minute rest in between rounds. Maybe have them do pushups and squats during the 1 minute rests.
