This is a portion of an email I received from Mike Boyle. Boyle is no friend of CrossFit, but he's a knowledgeable coach all the same. I like his approach to remaining fit while dealing with a full schedule. He's both growing a business and taking care of friends, family and clients. This is an admirably effective approach from a person who's decided fitness and performance must be sacrificed to meet other goals.
Do brief workouts. Again, if you are busy you don't have time to lift for two hours.
I try to do 4-5 High Intensity Cardiovascular Workouts a week. These are either 12-14 minute threshold rides (usually a five mile AirDyne for time) or a series of distances for
time. My favorites are timed miles or half miles with a heartrate recovery. These workouts take a maximum of 20 minutes. In addition, I've modified Craig Ballantynes Bodyweight 100. Most days I just try to get 100 reps in broken up into push, pull, legs, and core. It currently takes me less than 4 minutes to get a full body lift. I try to lift twice a week
but, probably average one workout every five days.
As I always say, the secret is there is no secret.
