If time is ever a factor for you, Train Smart and you can get a great workout in a relatively short amount of time by using multi body part workouts. These involve simple exercises with no fancy equipment required.
It makes a great deal of sense that short training sessions, involving exercises such as a combined Lunge, Curl and Press where you are combining many body parts rolled into a single exercise.
This mixed with other exercises such as Burpees, Jump Rope and push ups gives you a session involving Cardio, Strength and Stamina. The way you would design your session would be along the lines of :
5 Minute warm-up.
Lunge, Curl and Press x 20
Burpees x 20
Jump Rope (50 Double Unders)
Push Ups x 20
Rest for 30 seconds
Repeat the Set 4 times.
This type of interval training simulates some of the stresses on the body during competition, conditioning you for your chosen arena.
You can select any number of exercises to suit the requirements of your competition. For example 3 minute rounds in Boxing or 5 minute rounds for MMA. There are simply so many exercises that you can choose from that you can keep a good variety in your short training sessions to help prevent boredom setting in.
With a 5 minute warm-up and intervals like these mentioned above, you will get a great workout in about 25 minutes. You still need to work on technical skills, sparring and other aspects of Jiu-Jitsu for competition, however, through the closed season and on occasion when you are pushed for time, there is no excuse not to have a great workout through short training sessions.
