There are two main types of exercise everyone should aim to do: cardio and resistance exercise

. So in theory, as little as eight minutes of HIIT could be beneficial to your cardiovascular health.

There are a two main types of resistance exercises. The first type are multi-joint exercises , which are effective for increasing strength. Single-joint exercises are more effective when trying to increase the size of a particular muscle group. Similarly, exercise order is important. If increasing muscle size is your goal, then performing single-joint exercises prior to multi-joint exercises which use similar muscle groups could. If you want to build strength, the order of your exercises does not seem to matter.

If you want to save even more time in the gym, try “supersets”. Perform a chosen exercise for eight to 12 repetitions, then go straight into your second exercise. Rest for one to two minutes after, before repeating for your remaining sets. This method works best when the two exercises target different muscle groups.How you structure your weekend workouts will largely come down to your preference, your goals and how much time you have.
