I&#x27;ve been weightlifting all my life and I go through periods of very committed lifting followed by periods of working out whatsoever. These days I just don&#x27;t have time to stick to a steady routine of lifting 2-3 times per week, so instead I&#x27;ve taken a different approach.<p>When you think about it, a good portion of the time spent working out is getting ready; gathering your stuff up, getting to the gym, getting your clothes on, warming up, cooling down, taking your clothes off, maybe showering, leaving the gym to go back to wherever you need to be. This all adds up and turns what should be a quick 10-15 minute workout into an hour or more ordeal.<p>So my new thing is to just work out immediately, in my clothes I&#x27;m wearing, in a space that&#x27;s immediately accessible. I have a rack and weights in my basement and also a free workout space at work, so when I feel like I need a break from work or whatever, I just walk right over and knock out a few sets of the Stronglifts 5x5 routine in whatever I&#x27;m wearing at the time. It&#x27;s very hard to use the excuse that I don&#x27;t have time for it any more and I&#x27;m positive I&#x27;m getting just as much benefit.
